We use ethnographic data to reconstruct the belief systems of the constituency most likely to pressure for institutional convergence, namely, leaders of major MNEs from these countries. We find that their beliefs about the ideal shape of the economy continue to differ.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
