"The authors challenge the very notion of market transition as that of moving from command and control plan-based economy to a market one. Instead, they offer a true mosaic of post-Soviet transformation, a largely incomplete and frequently confusing multifaceted non-linear process.I strongly encourage everyone interested in post- Soviet transformations to read this book. A landmark work on informal economies, it offers a totally new perspective on economies in transition. Moreover, it serves as a methodological sample work for similar possible future studies of socio-economic transformations in different parts of the world. This brilliant work that proves that the adjective 'ethnographic' is directly related to another adjective 'economic', may be regarded as nothing less than an alternative and insightful interpretation of post-Soviet transformation." - Ararat L. Osipian, Vanderbilt University.
