Publisher's Synopsis
本书系统介绍苏东诸国经济社会转轨与思想变迁。 二十世纪八十年代末，随着苏联社会结构的大变化，世界格局也发生了很大的变化。市场自发调节的共识成为了一种改革方略的主体，变幻着各种非市场化国家的内部结构。非市场化的社会形态已成了落后的典型标志，人们纷忙急于脱去这个影响自身形象的外衣，罩上有些市场化标志的东西，不管是一件长袍，还是一顶毡帽，总之必要挂上点什么，以显时尚。 东欧与中国经济社会大有不同，其变革途径也许并不适合中国，但东欧诸国在变革之中经历的社会再造、政府改革、重塑公平等种种难题，也将是中国将来要面对的挑战。本书在对中国与东欧改革前经济与社会的不同模式进行实证分析的基础上，重新比较和解释了中国与东欧改革的不同进程。 The book describes the economic and social transformation and ideological changes of the countries to the east of the former Soviet Union. In the late 1980s, with the dramatic changes to the social structure of the Soviet Union, the world pattern underwent great changes, too. The consensus on the market's ability of spontaneous regulation became the center of reform plans, though complicated by the internal structures of non-market-oriented countries. Non-market societies are recognized as the typical symbol of backwardness. People are hastily taking off this coat that effects their images and putting on ones that show signs of a market economy, whether it's a robe, or a felt hat. All they need is something to cover themselves to show they are no strangers to fashion. Eastern Europe and China are different in terms of economy and society, and their reform approaches may not be appropriate for China. However, challenges in social reconstruction, government reform and reshaping of equity faced by the Eastern European countries as they pursue transformation will be faced by China in the future as well. Based on the empirical analysis of the different economic and social modalities in China and Eastern Europe before the reforms, the book compares and explains the different processes of reforms in China and Eastern Europe from a new perspective.
