<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A landmark examination of the work of acclaimed sociologist Iván Szelényi, and its enduring relevance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>This volume is devoted to the central themes in Iván Szelényi's sociological oeuvre, comprising empirical explorations and their theoretical refinement over the last 50 years.</strong> The contributors take interpretive and critical stances on his work, successfully clarifying the relevance of his insights. Taken together, their writing describes Szelényi's rigorous scholarship as grounded in a complex program for the political economy of socialisms and post-socialist capitalisms, and introduces him as a neoclassical sociologist whose research projects continue to investigate inequalities created by the interaction of markets and redistributive structures in various societies. The volume includes a conclusion by Iván Szelényi, wherein he responds to the reflections presented by the book's contributors. <br /><br />Contributors include: Dorothee Bohle, Tamás Demeter, Gil Eyal, Béla Greskovits, Michael D. Kennedy, Tamás Kolosi, Karmo Kroos, Victor Nee, David Ost, Iván Szelényi, and Bruce Western.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Tamás Demeter</strong> is Professor at the Sociology Department of the University of Pécs.
