Leading Sectors and the Varieties of Capitalism in Eastern Europe

Abstract (may include machine translation)

State socialism is widely seen as a system that had been remarkably successful in creating and maintaining uniform economic and political structures and institutions in a large number of initially very different societies. From this perspective it is puzzling that, once the system fell apart, its pieces, which shared its unifying legacy as a point of departure and were exposed to the same exogenous shocks of the collapse, entered, in a patterned rather than random way, radically different trajectories of capitalist development. Thus, instead of a single post-socialist economy, diverse forms of capitalism have been emerging.
