Incompatible Alternatives: HSE Researchers on the Ambivalence of Power in the Twenty-first Century Economy
Ambivalence and a combination of contradictory principles are vividly manifested in the actions of government, its individual agents and institutions, as well as the everyday practices of economic subjects and citizens.

Prepared by researchers from HSE University and foreign universities, the book focuses on the study of ambivalence in Russia and beyond.
