大衛·科茲(David M.Kotz),美國馬薩諸寒州立大學經濟學教授,曾發錶過一係列論述蘇聯和俄羅斯經濟的論著。
Over the past few years, many of the former Communist-rule countries of Central and Eastern Europe have taken a steady path toward becoming more or less normal capitalist countries - with Poland and Hungary cases in point. Russia, on the other hand, has experienced extreme difficulties in its attempted transition to capitalism and democracy. The pursuit of Western-endorsed policies of privatization, liberalization, and fiscal austerity have brought Russia growing crime and corruption, a distorted economy, and a trend toward authoritarian government. In their 1996 book for Routledge - "Revolution from Above" - David Kotz and Fred Weir shed light on the underlying reasons for the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union and the severe economic and political problems of the immediate post-Soviet period in Russia. In this new book, the authors bring the story up to date, showing how continuing misguided policies have entrenched a group of super-rich oligarchs, in alliance with an all-powerful presidency, while further undermining Russia's economic potential. New topics include the origins of the oligarchs, the deep penetration of crime and corruption in Russian society, the financial crisis that almost destroyed the regime, the mixed blessing of an oil-dependent economy, the atrophy of democracy in the Yeltsin years, and the recentralization of political power in the Kremlin under President Putin.

評分 評分文章開頭就駁斥瞭對蘇聯崩潰的四種看法:經濟崩潰、人民反抗、外國壓力以及高層破壞,並提齣瞭一個新觀點:蘇聯崩潰源自蘇聯黨-國精英的背叛。由於蘇聯共産黨對政府的滲透,采取嚴密的自上而下的控製,因此蘇聯成為瞭一個名副其實的黨-國。但是在這種製度之下,個人(無論級彆...
評分 評分話說“蘇聯的今天就是我們的明天”,於是國內很多人都很關注蘇聯解體的原因,我也不例外。在圖書館裏翻看到該書的介紹這麼說:“作者通過對50多名新舊政要的訪談,對蘇聯解體作瞭獨到的解釋”,加上又是美國大學教授所寫,想來值得一讀。然而讀完之後我卻大失所望,這本...
