Sumario:This article evaluates the potential of the Post-Keynesian literature on growth models to gain influence over the Varieties of Capitalism approach within Comparative Political Economy. It shows that the future analytical strength of the latter approach depends, primarily, on the ability to consolidate macroeconomic principles consistent with a dynamic reality. On the other hand, Post-Keynesian macroeconomic foundations allow financialised growth models to capture the importance of power struggles in long-term growth as well as to integrate crises as recurrent and inherent phenomena to capitalist economies. That said, Post-Keynesian challenge to become a beacon within CPE lies on moving beyond country-based analyses towards the construction of a systematic association between, on the one hand, the institutional aspects shared between countries and, on the other hand, their classification on growth models.
