"Privatizing Russa is both a `must’ read and a `good’ read. It deserves to become the seminal text on privatisation. Buy it. -- Business Europa "The authors provide a very good discussion of the theory of property rights, ownership and control, and explain in a neo-classical framework the failings of the Soviet economic system." -- Timothy N. Ash, Economics in Transition Privatizing Russia offers an inside look at one of the most remarkable reforms in recent history. Having started on the back burner of Russian politics in the fall of 1991, mass privatization was comp

A Note from the Authors:"Since the publication of this book, the events in Poland and elsewhere have demonstrated the extraordinary influence and longevity of the power networks spawned by the communist police state apparatus and its eventual privatization. There is new evidence uncovered almost daily, whose interpretation would not be feasible without the conceptual and historical framework elaborated first in this book."  This is the first book that documents and analyzes the paramount role of secret services in the decomposition of the communist system and the conversion of its elites int

In this shocking expose, two government fraud experts reveal how private contractors have put the lives of countless American soldiers on the line while damaging our strategic interests and our image abroad. From the shameful war profiteering of companies like Halliburton/KBR to the sinister influence that corporate lobbyists have on American foreign policy, Dina Rasor and Robert H. Bauman paint a disturbing picture. Here they give the inside story on troops forced to subsist on little food and contaminated water, on officers afraid to lodge complaints because of Halliburton’s politica

To what extent do international organizations, global policy networks, and transnational policy entrepreneurs influence domestic policy makers? Have we entered a new phase of globalization that, unbeknownst to most citizens, shapes policies that used to be the sole domain of domestic politics? Privatizing Pensions reveals how international institutions--such as the World Bank, USAID, and other transnational policy actors--have played a seminal role in the development, diffusion, and implementation of new pension reforms that are transforming the postwar social contract in more than thirty coun

Privatizing Social Security fills this void by studying retirement benefits in systems based on individual saving in funded accounts. The book begins with an introductory paper by Martin Feldstein that provides a powerful argument for reform by overviewin
