Simon Kordonsky distinguishes and describes in particular the currently existing Russian service and support estates. He introduces the notions of a resource-based state and resource-based economy as the political and economic foundations for Russian society's estate structure. His study demonstrates, moreover, how the method of inventing and institutionalizing threats plays a dominant role in the mode of distribution of scarce resources in such a social system. The book shows fundamental differences between resource- as well as threat-based economies, on the one side, and traditional risk-based economies, on the other, and discloses what this means for Russia's future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ibidem Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47890366595223,"sku":"9783838207759","price":2813.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783838207759.webp?v=1781179711","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/socio-economic-foundations-of-the-russian-post-soviet-regime-9783838207759","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
