State Capitalism offers an illuminating guide to the debate about contemporary state capitalism: does it simply use different tools from other variants of capitalism, or is it an altogether new kind of economic regime? Barbara Krug, a leading expert in this field, sets out to define the concept of contemporary state capitalism as an economic model and presents a nuanced view of state capitalism in action. She points the way to new areas for further study and analysis.
