Corporate Capitalism and the Integral State

More about the book

The book presents a novel perspective on the interplay between state and corporate power in the U.S., utilizing an Institutional Marxist framework. The author, Maher, contends that the state actively mobilizes business interests and organizes lobbying efforts, rather than merely responding to them. Business associations are depicted as tools through which the state enhances the political influence of the capitalist class, challenging conventional views on the nature of these relationships and the role of the state in economic politics.
