He foresaw the collapse of the Soviet Union in his book Gorbachev's Struggle for Economic Reform (1989). He depicted the success of Russia's market transformation in How Russia Became a Market Economy (1995), when others saw little but chaos. After Russia's financial crisis of 1998, ijlund insisted that Russia had no choice but to adjust to the world market (Building Capitalism, 2002), although most observers declared the market economic experiment a failure. - Why did not Russia choose Chinese gradual reforms? - Why are the former Soviet countries growing much faster than the Central European economies? - How did the oligarchs arise? - Where are the postcommunist countries heading? These are just some of the questions answered in his new book How Capitalism Was Built which tells the story how all but three of twenty-one former communist countries were transformed into market economies from 1989 to 2011, but less than half of them became democracies. Anybody who wants to understand the often confusing dramas unfolding in the region and to obtain an early insight into the future will find this book useful and intellectually stimulating"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000847562 650_0 $$aPost-communism$$zFormer Soviet republics. 000847562 650_0 $$aPost-communism$$zEurope, Eastern. 000847562 650_0 $$aCapitalism$$zFormer Soviet republics. 000847562 650_0 $$aCapitalism$$zEurope, Eastern. 000847562 651_0 $$aFormer Soviet republics$$xEconomic conditions. 000847562 651_0 $$aEurope, Eastern$$xEconomic conditions. 000847562 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000847562 852__ $$bebk 000847562 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1042522$$zOnline Access 000847562 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:847562$$pGLOBAL_SET 000847562 980__ $$aBIB 000847562 980__ $$aEBOOK 000847562 982__ $$aEbook 000847562 983__ $$aOnline
