Streeck contends that advanced capitalist democracies repeatedly postponed economic and political crises through successive strategies—first inflation, then public debt, followed by private debt, and finally fiscal austerity. These measures delayed rather than resolved the underlying contradictions between capitalism and democracy.  aDemocracy--Economic aspects  aCapitalism--Public debt  aPolitical economy -- Globalization
