Unfortunately, many academic were trapped in a time warp when they wrote their contributions to this book. Events have moved so far that their prejudices and biases were overtaken by reality, if not ":mugged by rerality". Any reader who years to know where the ex-USSR's economy is going -- or how it got to the miserable place it's now at -- should loook elsewhere. This is not the kind of book that will answer basic questions (such as "How did the average Russian enterprise cope, or at least try to cope, with the collapse of the USSR and the demise of the command economy?"). Scholars will, however, find some interesting items amongst some of the essays and articles reprinted in this book.
