The Role of Informal Economies in the Post-Soviet World

af Colin C. (University of Sheffield Williams

Challenges the accepted notion that the transition from the command economy to market based systems is complete across the post-Soviet space. Based on research, conducted in Ukraine and Russia between 2004 - 2007, this book states that the economies that operate across post-Soviet spaces are far from the textbook idea of a market economy.
