Negative Positive
Title: Indispensable
Review: Wegren's book is a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the post-Soviet agricultural reforms in Russia. He successfully argues that the Russian state is not "weak" compared to its Soviet counterpart, but that it is still stronger than other components of society, thus creating numerous barriers to the development of an expanding free market in the rural areas. His archival, fieldwork and anecdotal information make this a tremendous contribution to the social sciences.
