The Spirit of Russian IT Capitalism

Markku Lonkila

Chapter 8 in Networks in the Russian Market Economy, 2011, pp 134-140 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter connects the analysis of the actors and their micro-level networks to the macro-level question of the nature of emerging Russian capitalism by asking what makes individuals commit themselves to working in the new Russian economy. The chapter will investigate the Russian IT business by comparing its moral aspects with the ‘new spirit’ of Western contemporary capitalism found by Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello ([1999], 2005) in their study of modern French business life.1
