Summary:

Since the early 1970s, states have been acquiring significant corporate holdings in commercial, competitive sectors in the mixed economies of the industrialized West. Why should governments move beyond regulation to become direct investors and producers? Jeanne Kirk Laux and Maureen Appel Molot explore this question in a sophisticated comparative examination of Canada's experience with public enterprises. They argue that changing conditions for economic growth, in particular the internationalization of production, best explain the expanded role that the state is playing in business.
