About this book

The book deals with the key aspects of social and economic inequalities developed during the transition of the formerly planned European economies. Particular emphasis is given to the latest years available in order to consider the effects of the global crisis started in 2008-2009.

Reviews

“A welcome addition to the ongoing discussion, since it focuses on a region where inequality is often assumed to be a less pressing issue due to the common state socialist past. … The way the volume is structured around the theoretical framework and its comparative nature makes it a good choice for readers both in academia and in policy making who wish to familiarise themselves with the region and expand their knowledge on how different institutional set-ups influence inequality.” (Ákos Máté, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 68 (7), 2016)
