Business Practice in Socialist Hungary, Volume 1 Creating the Theft Economy, 1945–1957

“Philip Scranton’s new book highlights a number of very important problems in a very interesting and readable way. … The phenomena examined in the book were deeply embedded in the internal relations of contemporary firms, they were also influenced by power relations between authorities and companies, bargaining over resources and performance, by conflicting interests, by networks of social relations among the workers: complex economic and social processes that will be worthy of further study by future generations of researchers.” (Ágnes Pogány, Business History, October 5, 2023)
