Who is the Varieties of Capitalism poster for?
Varieties of Capitalism belongs to the Political Science section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning political economy can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Varieties of Capitalism poster?
Coordination happens through markets in some systems and through institutions in others. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Varieties of Capitalism belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Varieties of Capitalism poster print at?
