This book considers several aspects of the transformation of the former state socialist
countries: social and economic outcomes; forces in the transformation process; problems
of consolidation of the new regimes; and alternative scenarios. The book evaluates
the course of transformation of state socialist societies. It focuses on economic
change and its impact on inequality and health. Comparisons are made between the
successful central European countries now members of the European Union with those
of the former Soviet Union. There are detailed studies of the transformation of the
(former) German Democratic Republic, Czech Republic, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, as
well as the impact on Poland. A feature of the book is the impact of the collapse
of state socialism on countries of Asia and the Third World. Alternative scenarios
are considered, with specific chapters on China, Cuba, and North Korea. The book
contemplates the alternative types of society that might replace state socialism,
particularly state capitalism and market socialism.
