Abstract 520    $a"The evolution of the socialist economies of Eastern and Central Europe into capitalistic, market economies provides scholars with the opportunity and justification to consider capitalism itself. Throughout the Soviet experiment, a choice was seen to exist between capitalism on the one side and some form of socialism on the other, whether it was a centrally directed Soviet or a decentralized worker-managed system. Hybrids were possible, of course, as was a confluence of market and directive. Fundamentally, though, the choice was between capitalism and socialism. Without the differences in varied socialisms overwhelming them, the contrasts in capitalism have become more pronounced. The authors have produced an intriguing study of the nature of capitalism: Is there one capitalism or many? Are the different approaches simply variations or fundamentally separate approaches to economic problems? Can one approach be grafted successfully onto a different historical, political, and developmental situation? If there are different capitalisms, are they converging (if so, to what?) or diverging? The authors are from a variety of academic backgrounds, and they have done an admirable job examining these questions." -- Choice review
