Title: Rethinking the post Soviet experience
Description: Twenty years after the Soviet Union collapsed and the post-socialist experiment began, this book evaluates the experiences of market-building and the implications that this has had for social theory. Moving beyond the utilitarian assumptions that govern many other works, the author investigates the importance of culture in the post-socialist story, andthe interaction between social and economic change. Combining scholarship in economics, politics and sociology, this volume examines key issues though the discourses of workers, managers, financial elites and state officials. In telling these stories, this book expands on previous analyses, proposing a new way of thinking about moral economy, and providing insights into the dynamics of economic change.
