Description |
In Economic Reforms in New Democracies, Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira, Jose Maria Maravall, and Adam Przeworski argue that the institutionalization of class compromise in state policy-making bodies and procedures is the key to sustained economic growth and to the consolidation of more representative-democratic forms of government in peripheral and former Soviet-type countries. The book's importance stems partly from its attempt to reinvigorate, for the transition context, the classic social-democratic optimism regarding the complementarity of capital accumulation, democracy, and working-class interests. However, a critical reading of Economic Reforms draws additional relevance from the book's close genealogical relationship with Przeworski's prior work in Analytical Marxism, an influential school that uses the rational-choice methods of neoclassical economics to analyze accumulation, class conflict and other classical Marxist concerns.
