A pretty influential book in the late 80s or early 90s described the French, German and Nordic models as the "Rhenan Capitalism", with a strong mixture of public and private in the economy, and stronger social nets.

I need to dig it up, but it basically said that the model was sound and a coherent alternative to the more free-wheeling anglo capitalism (which was not presented as evil, but certainly as significantly different).

In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
