Abstracts

EN

New capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is a fascinating subject, which, nevertheless, lacks a comprehensive coverage in the academic literature. While there is a bulk of articles and chapters in the edited books dealing with the issue available, no single book aiming at describing and analyzing the phenomenon, which is still very much in the making, was published in English until recently. The position co-authored by Dorothee Bohle and Bela Greskovits is probably the first serious e# ort aiming to fill the void in a satisfactory way. The authors deliver a book summarizing their long-time interest (manifested by a number of papers under their names published before the book went on sale) in the process of market economy emergence in the post-communist Europe.
