Klappentext In the 1990s, attempted shock therapy generated unemployment much worse than many economists claimed. This book, based on an enterprise survey conducted between 1991 and 1994, examines how factories responded to unprecedented pressures, highlighting employment cuts, changing corporate governance and unanticipated labour market outcomes.
