The Vanishing Rouble: Barter Networks and Non-Monetary Transactions in Post-Soviet Societies - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an accessible and authoritative analysis of the widespread use of barter in the countries of the former Soviet Union--one of the most dramatic, but least understood, aspects of the region's tortuous transition from planned to market economy. Written by a distinguished team of economists and other social scientists with minimal use of mathematics, the book is designed to appeal not just to area studies scholars with an interest in the transition process but also to economists and anthropologists interested in the role of money and social networks in modern societies.

Review
"...undoubtedly an important book...it provides a still rare example of how scholars from various professions can work together productively on the puzzling issues of the postsocialist transition." Slavic Review

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. One of the most remarkable aspects of the transition process in the former Soviet Union has been the extent to which the economy has effectively become demonetized in recent years. At the time of Russia's financial crisis of 1998 it was estimated that up to 70 per cent of industrial output was being exchanged for barter. This book provides an accessible and authoritative analysis of barter in the former Soviet Union, addressing such questions as: - What has brought about this demonetization and why have we not seen the same phenomenon on a widespread scale in central and eastern Europe? - Does the nature of demonetization cast light on what underpins monetary transactions in industrial societies? - What are the consequences for output and growth? - Should the state intervene and how? - Does the network character of many non-monetary transactions have implications for the role and value of social networks in complex modern societies? An analysis of barter in the former Soviet Union. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
