Title: The conundrum of Russian capitalism
Description: 'The Conundrum of Russian Capitalism' looks at the nature of Russian capitalism following the fall of the Soviet Union, showing how the system originated in the degenerated Soviet bureaucracy under the ppessures of global capital. Ruslan Dzarasov provides a detailed analysis of Russian corporate governance, labout practices and investment strategies. By comparing the practices of Russian companies to the typical models of corporate governance and investment behaviour of big firms in the West, Dzarasov sheds light on the relationship between the core and periphery of the capitalist world-system. This groundbreaking study shows that Russia's new capitalism is not a break with the country's Stalinist past, but in fact the continuation of that tradition.
