Summary:In this collection of essays David A Dyker explores some of the mostdifficult and fascinating aspects of the process of transition fromautocratic "real socialism" to a capitalism that is sometimesdemocratic, sometimes authoritarian. The stress is on the economicdimension of transformation, but the author sets the economic dramafirmly within a political economy framework and a historicalperspective. Trends in key economic variables are analysed against thebackground of the struggle between different social and politicalgroups for power and command over resources. While the book pays dueattentio.
