<br/><br/>Defining state capitalism -- Russia: crony capitalism, Putin-style -- Kyrgyzstan: sad poster-child of neoliberalism -- Kazakhstan: a dual economy with developmental characteristics -- Uzbekistan: economic life under control and beyond control -- Tajikistan and Turkmenistan: predatory state capitalism -- Conclusion. 
<br/><br/> The book presents three types of state capitalism now established in the former Soviet Union states of Eurasia — crony, dual-sector, and predatory capitalism. It provides first-hand research based on extensive interviewing in the native languages in five of the six. From the political economic perspective, it surveys the source of resources for these authoritarian regimes, their decision-making, and the disposition of government funds, including corruption.
