Description

From smugglers to entrepreneurs, blue-collar workers and taxi drivers, this book deals with the multitude of characters engaged in informal economic practices in the former socialist regions. Going beyond a conception of informality as opposed to the formal sector, its authors demonstrate the fluid nature of informal transactions straddling the crossroads between illegal, illicit, socially acceptable and symbolically meaningful practices. Alongside `getting by and `getting ahead in recently marketised societies, these meanings relate to sociality, kinship-ties and solidarity, along with more surprising `political and moral reasonings.
