Russian Banking

"Russian Banking considers the rise of commercial market-oriented banks in Russia, their links with government and non-financial companies, and their role as intermediaries in the provision of finance for investment." "This up-to-date and comprehensive account of commercial banking in modern Russia will appeal to those concerned with the economics of transition or comparative banking. Political scientists and sociologists with an interest in forms of capitalism and the roles of banks will also find the book to be a fascinating read."--Jacket.
