Includes bibliographical references and index.

Who are better hunters for innovation? -- Whose innovation creates more jobs? -- Whose innovation creates more inequality? -- Who faces a dilemma between volatility and output in innovation?

Building on the 'varieties of capitalism' literature, he goes beyond the traditional focus on 'radical versus incremental innovation' in existing scholarship, and takes the comparison of capitalism to an entirely new set of questions around technological innovation.
