The Market for Institutions vs. Capitalism by Fiat: The Case of Eastern Europe
分析东欧国家中集体主义政党赢得自由选举的原因，指出转型过程强加资本主义制度，忽视了当地哲学传统、对资本主义的原有认知、旧体制特定资产的重要性以及地方领导人对民族主义的利用，导致选民投票反对自由市场政党。
This paper considers why procollectivist parties are winning free elections in many East European states. Analysis shows that the transition process imposed some institutions of capitalism with little regard for the region's philosophical heritage, the way East Europeans perceived capitalism before 1989, the importance that well-defined groups attach to assets that are specific to the old system, and the role of local leaders in exploiting nationalism. By identifying the results of exogenous institutional changes with capitalism, East Europeans are voting free-market parties out of power. Copyright 1994 by WWZ and Helbing & Lichtenhahn Verlag AG
