Abstract: This article analyzes the implications of adaptation discourse in post-communist societies for the working classes. I begin with a brief outline of the local and global processes at the heart of post-communist transitions and then look at the adaptation discourse as a response to these socio-economic changes. I continue by focusing on the representations of working classes in the framework of the adaptation discourse and conclude by a critique of this discourse as marginalizing the post-communist working classes and as uncritically legitimating the system of class inequalities.
