And what political consequences follow?In his new book\, Governing Growth\, wh ich he will discuss at this event\, Peter Hall traces the interactions bet ween politics and economics in Western democracies over the past eighty ye ars\, identifying a series of profound shifts in the political economies o f Europe and the United States. Hall develops the concept of successive gr owth regimes\, each the result of public policies interacting with the str ategies of private firms. Alongside each growth regime\, he argues\, there is a distinctive representation regime\, which determines whose voices ha ve the most influence over public policy. Showing how these two regimes in teract\, he develops a new account of the processes through which politica l economies change over time. Hall outlines three postwar growth regimes: an era of modernization\, from 1945 to about 1975\; an era of liberalisati on\, from 1980 to the late 1990s\; and an era of knowledge-based growth\, beginning at the turn of the century. His sweeping analysis sheds new ligh t not only on the relationship between capitalism and democracy\, but also on the roots of our contemporary political dilemmasMeet our speakers and chairPeter A Hall is Krupp Foundation Professor of European Studies in the Department of Government at Harvard and a resident faculty member of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies.Sara Hobolt is the Sutherlan d Chair in European Institutions and Head of the Department of Government at LSE.David Soskice is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Government \, and was School Professor of Political Science and Economics from 2012-2 022 at LSE.
