Transition to Capitalism?: The Communist Legacy in Eastern EuropeJános Mátyás Kovács Transaction Publishers, 01/01/1994 - 323 من الصفحات This work observes how the political ideologies, social values, and theoretical paradigms of Eastern European scholars and politicians changed throughout the period of transformation following the 1989 political revolutions in Eastern Europe. The authors try to reinterpret the institutions, movements, and ideologies that allegedly contributed to the erosion of the old regimes in Eastern Europe, asking whether these--alternative--legacies of communism support the transition to capitalism. |
