Reviews

`This is a fascinating book. The penetrating analysis gives a clear political economy explanation how certain groups of the managerial-banker elite grab power and wealth of a magnitude unique in modern history. Many pieces of the puzzle were known before, the book's achievement is to provide a convincing overall picture of the process.' -- Janos Kornai, Harvard University, US and Collegium Budapest, Hungary `A powerful restatement of the role a state can and should play in the process of economic transformation. Policymakers as well as scholars will ignore this book at their peril.' -- Stephen L. White, Keele University, UK
