The main thesis is that economic development was blocked by a set of parasitic mechanisms at all levels of the economy that prevented the development of value-added economic activities. These parasitic mechanisms already developed under Soviet rule ('beating the system' by redistributing goods and services while disregarding formal rules) became a widespread practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780333783016\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9780333978023\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 203cm x127cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 236\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47676756656268,"sku":"9780333783016","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780333783016.jpg?v=1776550842","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780333783016","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
