Consumer capitalism : politics, product markets, and firm strategy in France and Germany

Summary: "Trumbull's findings help to clarify distinctive national approaches to recent product crises - including cases of BSE and genetically modified foods. His research suggests that, in the age of consumer capitalism, national competitiveness may hinge not only on endowments of labor and capital, but also on the institutional forms of national consumption."--Jacket.
