Now expanded to cover the consequences of Russia's 1998 financial collapse, this book focuses on the social consequences of a modern-day great depression. The text examines the unequal distribution of the costs and benefits of Russia's leap into capitalism. The topics covered include: the emergence of the "new poor"; the recruitment of a business elite; the changing social and economic status of women; and the impact of marketization on employment. The study draws on a range of statistics and survey research data to present a portrait of the lives and circumstances of comtemporary Russians.
Now expanded to cover Russia's 1998 financial collapse, New Rich,
New Poor, New Russia focuses on the social consequences of this
modern-day Great Depression. The authors draw on abundant
statistical material and survey research data to present a
carefully assembled portrait of the life circumstances of
contemporary Russians. They document the unequal distribution of
the costs and benefits of reform in Russia, its impact on the
socioeconomic structure of the population, and the ways in which
these changes have violated social perceptions of equity and
fairness. Among the major issues examined in this context are:
CONTENTS Introduction to the Second Edition 1. Free Market Ideology and the Specter of Inequality 2. Critical Responses to Radical Reform 3. The Rise of Mass Poverty 4. A Question of Difference: Women as Losers 5. Wage-Earners: Winners and Losers 6. A New Capitalist Class: Entrepreneurs and the Economic Elite 7. Why No Social Democracy in Russia? Epilogue: The Failure of Market Bolshevism
Nowhere is the tension attending simultaneous political democratization and economic liberalization more sharply felt than in the realm of labour relations. What is happening in Soviet trade unions today? How will the emerging independent unions respond to anticipated rises in unemployment? What kind of social regulation of the labour market will be appropriate in the future? These papers from a pathbreaking US-Soviet conference on labour issues reveal a considerable diversity of views on questions whose resolution will be essential to social peace in this period of transition. Among the noted contributors are Joseph Berliner, Sam Bowles, Richard Freeman, Leonid Gordon, V.L.Kosmarskii, Alla Nazimova, Michael Piore, Boris Rakitskii, Iurii Volkov, Ben Ward and Tatiana Zaslavskaia.
