Описание:
Entering the shady world of what he calls "violent entrepreneurship," Vadim Volkov explores the economic uses of violence and coercion in Russia in the 1990s. Violence has played, he shows, a crucial role in creating the institutions of a new market economy. The core of his work is competition among so-called violence-managing agencies—criminal groups, private security services, private protection companies, and informal protective agencies associated with the state—which multiplied with the liberal reforms of the early 1990s. This competition provides an unusual window on the dynamics of state formation.
Violent Entrepreneurs is remarkable for its research. Volkov conducted numerous interviews with members of criminal groups, heads of protection companies, law enforcement employees, and businesspeople. He bases his findings on journalistic and anecdotal evidence as well as on his own personal observation.
Volkov investigates the making of violence-prone groups in sports clubs (particularly martial arts clubs), associations for veterans of the Soviet—Afghan war, ethnic gangs, and regionally based social groups, and he traces the changes in their activities across the decade. Some groups wore state uniforms and others did not, but all of their members spoke and acted essentially the same and were engaged in the same activities: intimidation, protection, information gathering, dispute management, contract enforcement, and taxation. Each group controlled the same resource—organized violence.

Описание: What's going on with the US economy? Who's better is managing the economy: Democrats or Republicans? Does Immigration Help Or Hurt State Economies? Who was the best president in managing the economy? Has the US lost to China? The 5-Minute Economist shows you how to quickly "score" the economy's performance with just a few variables. It is a book that everyone with an interest in the economy should read. No bias, no media spin, just numbers and grades to help you gain a better insight.You Don't need a PhD to Understand the Economy Every news report and newspaper article say something different about what is going on in the economy. One economist says things are great, but another says things look bleak. Regardless of the deluge of statistics and the amount of time that the media devotes to discussing the economy, most people remain bewildered by it all. Rather than informing them, it only serves to confuse them at best and mislead them at worst. How is the average person supposed to know what's really going on in the economy? Wouldn't it be great if there were an easy way anyone could see how the economy was really doing? That's why the authors created the Economic Performance Index, or EPI, currently the only patented index of economic activity, that was published at the International Monetary Fund, the largest global economic policy institution in the world. It uses four macro-indicators (easily found online) that capture the broad health of nearly any economy-from individual US states to regional country blocs-at any point in modern history Five years of research along with EPIs publication at the IMF gives you certainty that it will provide you with a clear, unbiased and competent understanding of the economy. Not only does The 5-Minute Economist show you how to use the Index for yourself, where you can apply it to the US economy and individual states as well as other countries, but it answers major questions that everyone wants to know:
Who's better: Democrats or Republicans?
Is war good for the economy?
Is the media biased?
Has the US lost to China?
Do high taxes help or hurt?
Should we model Texas or California?
Who was the best president in managing the economy?
And many more
In short, this book provides the reader with a clear but powerful method of evaluating the performance of any economic entity, in a way that will change your understanding of the economy, as well as that of millions of other people. Don't wait for the "experts" to tell you how the economy is doing-find out for yourself
