Следуя традициям новой экономической социологии и политической экономии, авторы книги изучают, как связаны власть и хозяйство в условиях современного госкапитализма, и почему их отношения наполнены разного рода амбивалентности. В фокусе внимания авторов находится главным образом опыт посткоммунистических стран, который релевантен для понимания амбивалентного характера власти и в более широкой перспективе. Ядром авторского состава монографии выступили сотрудники ЛЭСИ и международные коллеги. Текст монографии в полном объеме доступен на сайте издательства https://www.uclpress.co.uk/collections/series-fringe/products/190516
