Ruth Roosa's long-awaited study focuses on the most important
business organization in imperial Russia. the Association of
Industry and Trade, the nerve center of Russian capitalism in the
years between the revolutions of 1905 and 1917. The author's
comprehensive, nuanced analysis of the Association's policy
positions on Russian economic development has no peer. Of
particular interest are the insights the study affords into the
peculiarities of Russian business -- including the operation of
semi-monopolistic syndicates and the role of imported capital,
banks, and the autocratic state. It supplies historical perspective
on some of the more perplexing features of the new Russian
capitalism.
Roosa was a pioneer in the study of early twentieth-century
Russian capitalism. This volume, prepared for posthumous
publication by her friends and colleagues, makes her work available
at a time when it has new resonance and relevance.
