How
Nations
Innovate:
The
Political
Economy
of
Technological
Innovation
in
Affluent
Capitalist
Economies.
Oxford
University
Press.
How Nations Innovate compares
how
affluent
capitalist
economies
differ
in
their
patterns
of
technological
innovation.
Building
on
the
'varieties
of
capitalism'
literature,
this
book
goes
beyond
the
traditional
focus
on
'radical
versus
incremental
innovation'
in
existing
scholarship,
and
takes
the
comparison
of
capitalism
to
an
entirely
new
set
of
questions
around
technological
innovation.
For
example,
which
type
of
capitalism
engages
in
job-threatening
innovation?
Whose
innovation
widens
income
inequality?
Whose
innovation
raises
productivity?
Which
type
of
capitalism
has
more
effective
financial
markets
for
innovation?
Whose
innovators
emphasize
'control'
rather
than
'flexibility'
during
innovation?
