In Gorbachev's Struggle for Economic Reform [tel], he foresaw the collapse of the Soviet political and economic system. After Russia's financial crisis of 1998, observers declared the market economic experiment a failure, Aslund foresaw market economic success (Building Capitalism, 2002). In How Capitalism Was Built, 2nd Edition, he asks - and answers for the twenty-one countries he investigates: Why did communism collapse? Why did Russia not choose gradual reforms like China did? Wherein lies the relative success of postcommunist transformation? How did the oligarchs arise .
