Title: DEMOCRATISING CAPITALISM?: THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF POST-COMMUNIST TRANSFORMATIONS IN ROMANIA, 1989-2001
Description: "A vast process of redistribution and redefinition of property rights in Romania has, in just over a decade, led to the emergence of a form of capitalism that preserves some of the aspirations for social justice and equality of the previous era. This book analyses the two major components of the post-communist transformations in Romania that account for this new form of capitalism: the reconstitution of politics as democratic politics and the replacement of the plan by the market as the mechanism for economic co-ordination. The influence of international financial institutions and the European Union are taken into account across all areas of the economy, politics and culture."--BOOK JACKET.
