Although it has a durable institutional shape, the operation of capitalism takes different forms across space and time with varying distributive effects. This article contributes to a growing literature considering the successive forms taken by capitalism in the developed democracies since World War II. It develops a distinctive conception of these forms as “growth regimes” that are mutually constituted by the core practices of firms and reinforcing public policies specific to each historical era. The movement of firm practices and government policies is then examined with a view to identifying the growth regimes of three postwar eras of modernization, liberalization, and knowledge-based growth.

尽管它具有持久的制度形态，但资本主义的运作在空间和时间上采取不同的形式，具有不同的分配效应。考虑到资本主义自二战以来在发达民主国家中所采取的连续形式，本文为不断增长的文献做出了贡献。它将这些形式形成了一个独特的概念，即“增长机制”，它们由公司的核心实践和加强每个历史时代特定的公共政策共同构成。然后研究公司实践和政府政策的运动，以确定现代化、自由化和基于知识的增长三个战后时代的增长机制。
