Reviews

Central and Eastern Europe is a neoliberal horror story. The details are well told here: of grabitization kleptocracies, NATO expansion and capital flight. These well-packaged studies show how U.S.-sponsored reforms de-industrialized Russia and other post-Soviet states. ... This story needs to be known.' -- Michael Hudson Radical political economy finally comes resurgent in the former communist countries. Dale and his collaborators comprehensively cover the transitions, from Hungary to the Russian Pacific. The best alternative survey of how the post-communist entrants are faring in 21st-century capitalism. -- Georgi Derluguian, author of Bourdieu's Secret Admirer in the Caucasus: A World-Systems Biography This book provides a vital corrective to neoliberal triumphalism, and a starting-point for socialist renewal. -- Hugo Radice, University of Leeds A very valuable contribution to a growing literature on the post-Communist transition. -- Dr Carl Levy, Reader in European Politics, Goldsmiths, University of London
