Business and Government (Hardcover, New)

Business and government are two of the most important actors in shaping our lives. This new four volume collection from Routledge's Major Works series, Critical Perspectives on Business and Management, will explore four key areas of the relationship: First, what is the balance of power between business and government? Second, what trends are apparent in the balance of power between business and government? Third, how effective is the relationship between business and government in terms of promoting economic growth and development? Fourth, can business be mobilized, and if so how, to help solve societal problems by means other than legislation? In addressing these questions the editor will gather together the key writings - both classic works and contemporary scholarship - to meet the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject's vast literature. With a new introduction by the editor and a full index, this will be a valuable one stop research resource for both student and scholar.
