It shows a pattern emerging from a political imperative in imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet regimes, and it describes how these reforms were justified in the name of the national interest during severe crises - rapid inflation, military defeat, mass strikes, rural unrest, and\/or political turmoil. It looks at the consequences of adversity in the economic environment for rural behavior after reform and at long-run trends. It has chapters on property rights, rural organization, and technological change. It provides a new database for measuring agricultural productivity from 1861 to 1913 and updates these estimates to the present. This book is a study of the policies aimed at reorganizing rural production and their effectiveness in transforming institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944705851680,"sku":"NEW0521858496","price":160.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/agrarian-reform-in-russia-the-road-from-serfdom-0521858496","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
