Social and Economic Change in Eastern Ukraine The Example of Zaporizhzhia

First published in 1998, this deeply engaging volume describes the 'great transformation' of our time. While transformation, it is definitely not a transition to the market economy, civil society and democratic rule. Instead, this book maps the growth of the economic jungle, clan society and a corrupted, criminalised state. Capitalists but no capitalism. Watching Warsaw, Prague and Budapest, one should not forget about Zaporizhzhya. After this book, one cannot.
