{"product_id":"1295872","title":"Entrepreneurship in Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union","description":"384 pp. \"This multidisciplinary study of entrepreneurship in Russian society form the sixteenth to the twentieth century demonstrates the crucial influence of the central government on economic initiative. In both Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union entrepreneurship evolved in a setting in which the interests and power of the state were uncommonly strong. Indeed, in the last imperial decades, the state played such a large role int he industrialization that planned economy of the Soviet Union deems more an intensification of Imperial policies than a radical departure from them. Nevertheless, the state's role was ambivalent. Many of these essays reveal how the state served as an obstacle, rather than a spur, to entrepreneurial energy, even when the ruling elite was committed ideologically to economic growth.\"\r\n","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12594743410758,"sku":"1295872","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/1295872","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
