The missing counter-narrative to the "varieties of capitalism" literature might be a "varieties of dirigisme" approach. A skeleton taxonomy might be:
The Hamiltonian school [US federalism-imperialism]
The Gladstonian school [British liberalism-imperialism]
The Listian-Bismarckian school [German hybrid of the others]
The Napoleanic school [French, duh :-)]
Tied to these would be the "sovereignty as organized hypocrisy" problem....
