New Left Review 6, November-December 2000
A decade ago, German and Japanese capitalism were widely held superior in economic performance and social cohesion to American or British.

WILL GLOBAL CAPITALISM BE ANGLO-SAXON CAPITALISM?
With the end of the military and ideological confrontation of the Cold War, people have come to notice that state vs. market is not the only important dimension along which national economic systems differ: it was not central planning that differentiated the capitalist systems of Germany and Japan from those of Britain and America. But from the beginning of the ‘types of capitalism’ debates of the 1990s, there was one implicit question: as open national economies merge into a single world economic system, how far will the global diffusion of the Anglo-Saxon form of capitalism go? Will there still be room for rather different forms of capitalism to survive in countries like Japan and Germany? [1]
