Everyday Economy in Russia, Poland & Latvia (Sodertorn Academic Studies, 16)

Description:

"Eleven researchers present the results of field studies carried out among ordinary families and their neighbours, among businessmen, petty street traders, and homeless people. They examine formal and informal means to earn a living in the transition period. The concept "Everyday economy" is the focus and common denominator of all contributions." "These contributions to the debate on post-Soviet societies should be of interest not only to social scientists and specialists, but to all who wish to gain a deeper understanding of this crucial period."--Jacket.
