As Moscow bureau chief for Business Week magazine, Rose Brady was on the scene during the fall of the Soviet Union and the key early years of Russia’s transformation from a socialist state to a market economy. Brady interviewed scores of major political and economic figures, entrepreneurs, and ordinary Russian citizens, all of whom confronted enormous changes during the first five years of economic reform. In this compelling book, Brady provides one of the first accounts of Russia’s transition period written by an observer without a personal stake in the reform efforts’ outcome. The author takes readers into the factories, stores, banks, impromptu markets, homes, and schools of Russia, as well as into the corridors of power, to explain how the country’s own brand of capitalism has evolved. The book describes the shock to citizens when Boris Yeltsin’s government liberated prices in 1992; the early entrepreneurs who scrambled for position as state assets were privatized; privatization chief Anatoly Chubais’s crucial compromises, which altered the shape of Russian capitalism; and the development of an oligarchical system dominated by a handful of financial-industrial conglomerates. Some people have been left behind in poverty, sickness, and confusion as Russia has lurched toward capitalism, Brady concludes, yet by 1997, with private-sector domination of the economy, Russia had achieved an essentially successful economic transformation.
PRZEKŁAD – Krzysztof Abriszewski, Paweł Gąska, Adrian Zabielski REDAKCJA NAUKOWA ORAZ NAUKOWE OPRACOWANIE PRZEKŁADU – Krzysztof Abriszewski i Paweł Gąska Gry wideo są modelowymi mediami zarówno Imperium, jak i niektórych sił, które się mu sprzeciwiają – taka teza przyświeca Grom Imperium, książce czerpiącej garściami z dzieł Micheala Hardta, Antonia Negriego, Michela Foucualta, Gillesa Deleuza i Felixa Guattariego. Jest to pierwsze takie dzieło, w którym autorzy, za pomocą narzędzi współczesnej myśli krytycznej, przyglądają się grom wideo w kontekście krążenia kapitału, kompleksu wojskowo-przemysłowego czy wyzysku pracowników kognitywnych. Krytyka jest tu rzetelna, napisana przystępnym językiem, nie popada nigdy ani w bezpodstawną panikę moralną, ani w przesadny technooptymizm. W tekście utrzymano równowagę między teorią a empirycznymi przykładami (wśród których znajdują się choćby Full Spectrum Warrior, World of Warcraft, seria Grand Theft Auto czy konsola Sony Playstation). Gry Imperium to książka dla szerokiego grona odbiorców. Krytycy neoliberalnego kapitalizmu znajdą kolejne przykłady jego destrukcyjnego wpływu. Kulturoznawcy i groznawcy poznają nową perspektywę, z której można spoglądać na gry wideo. Wreszcie gracze będą mogli w przystępnej formie przeczytać o jasnych i ciemnych stronach ważnego dla nich medium. Prezentowana książka otwiera nową serię wydawniczą Kultura Współczesności, która ma podjąćtrudne zadanie zrozumienia współczesnej kultury w ciekawy sposób. Osoby pracujące nad przekładem łączą własne zaplecze teoretyczne z pracą empiryczną. Istotne jest także, by prace tego rodzaju zawierały element krytyczny, który pomoże wydobyć wielowymiarowość otaczającego nas świata. Obecność tych trzech warunków jest ważna o tyle, że żaden z nich z osobna nie oferuje satysfakcjonujących efektów podczas badania teraźniejszości, razem jednak dają szansę ukazania jej w sposób zaskakujący, nowy i inspirujący. Ufamy, że każda z publikowanych pozycji wniesie swój wkład w rozumienie kultury naszych czasów. Drugą planowaną pracą w serii jest przekład książki A Casual Revolution: Reinventing Video Games and Their Players Jespera Juula.
This volume gathers together a collection of essays integrated by two central themes: the comparative economic performance of different economic systems (centralized socialism, reformed socialism, competitive socialism), and the transition from socialism to capitalism under newly established pluralistic political systems in Central and Eastern Europe. Most of the essays are based on the first-hand experience of the author in stabilizing an economy in an early stage of hyperinflation and in transforming it into a competitive capitalist market economy.
Rose Brady, former Moscow bureau chief for Business Week magazine, here provides a compelling firsthand account of Russia's transition from a socialist state to a market economy. Taking us into the factories, stores, banks, markets, homes, schools, and corridors of power in Russia, she explains how the country's own brand of capitalism has evolved.
Should companies be run for profit or purpose? This book shows how they can deliver both-based on rigorous evidence and an actionable framework.

Survey of trends in the social sciences in the USSR including historical studies, philosophy, economics, sociology and legal aspects.
For the first time in history, the globe is dominated by one economic system. Capitalism prevails because it delivers prosperity and meets desires for autonomy. But it also is unstable and morally defective. Surveying the varieties and futures of capitalism, Branko Milanovic offers creative solutions to improve a system that isn’t going anywhere.
What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In this work the author analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality. He shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality--the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth--today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values if political action is not taken. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, the author says, and may do so again. This original work reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.
A “keenly observed and timely investigation” of how capitalism makes a fortune from disaster, poverty and catastrophe—“a potent weapon for shock resistors around the world” (Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine) Disaster has become big business. Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein travels across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Haiti, Papua New Guinea, the United States, Britain, Greece, and Australia to witness the reality of disaster capitalism. He discovers how companies cash in on organized misery in a hidden world of privatized detention centers, militarized private security, aid profiteering, and destructive mining. What emerges through Loewenstein’s re­porting is a dark history of multinational corporations that, with the aid of media and political elites, have grown more powerful than national governments. In the twenty-first century, the vulnerable have become the world’s most valuable commodity.
