Abstract
This book provides a critical reassessment of the role of the public sector during the Golden Age in both advanced and emerging economies. Authoritative scholars from all over the world focus on a major player in the shaping of mixed economies: the top managers of State-owned enterprises. They analyze values, economic cultures and strategies of these managers, opening up a comparative perspective of the topic. The following chapters suggest a reconsideration of the role played by the State in the economic development and in the modernization of the production apparatus of many countries in Western Europe and Asia, Latin America and Africa.
