The theoretical background is Weber 's theory of legitimacy. Was communism ever \"legitimate\"? What kind of legitimacy claims were made in the transition from communism to capitalism? Central Europe was closer to the Western \"liberal\" model. Russia built capitalism in a patrimonial way. China followed its own unique way; some called it \"socialism with Chinese characteristics\". Putin experiments with an innovation for post-communist capitalism. He confronts the \"oligarchs\" and reallocates property from those who challenge his political authority to old and new loyal ones. This book asks to what extent such forms can serve as generic models for post-communist capitalism?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eList of Figures, Tables and Boxes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e1 Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e2 Legitimacy under Communism and Post-communism: Theoretical Background\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.1 When Is a Rule 'Illegitimate '? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.2 The Three Ideal Types of Legitimate Authority (and the Fourth) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.3 Various Types of Traditional Authority \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e3 Varieties of Communism\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.1 Introductory Remarks \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.2 What Is\/Was Communism?
