1. A revised version of a lecture given at the London School of Economics, May 2000, to mark the publication of the author's Stockmarket Capitalism, Welfare Capitalism: Japan and Germany versus the Anglo-Saxons, Oxford 2000. Many people in Britain and America who have neither Angles nor Saxons among their ancestors object to the term 'Anglo-Saxon'; but it has become established in the literature of comparative capitalisms, thanks to the lead initially given by Michel Albert (Capitalisme contre capitalisme, Paris 1991). The similarity of Canadian, Australian and New Zealand patterns to the British and American ones provides some justification for the phrase.
