Abstract: Abstract The privatization of post-socialist economies, including the transfer of state assets to other proprietors, new start-ups, and greenfield investments, has produced a wide variety of ownership structures in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). One of the main questions discussed in recent years concerns the basic characteristics of post-socialist ownership. Are the new structures unique as compared to recent Western market economies, as several researchers argue (Stark, 1996; Earle and Estrin, 1997; Andreff, 1998)? Is the dominant form some kind of recombinant property, that is, a mixture of state and private ownership, dominated by interorganizational (corporate) shareholders (Stark, 1996; Stark and Kemény, 1997)? Or do we face a model of managerial capitalism, as Szelényi et al. (1996) suggest?
