Please note that "Russia's Post-Communist Economy" edited by
Brigitte Granville and Peter Oppenheimer, published by Oxford University
Press is now available
Description
In the past decade, Russia has overcome inflation, privatized much of
its industry, and prevented widespread deterioration in living standards.
But major obstacles remain to sustained economic growth. This collection
of papers is the first to offer a coherent, broad-based, and comprehensive
overview of all aspects of the Russian post-Communist economic experience.
Drawing from both East and West, it will be essential reading for all those
trying to understand just where Russia is now, how it got there, and where
it is going.
Readership: Professional and academic economists working on the Russian
economy in particular and transition studies generally. Some crossover
into politics.
Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in these areas.
