If you speak Hungarian or want to experiment with AI translation, there's a thorough report in one of Hungary's leading online newspapers covering our recent Cambridge Journal of Economics article on #deindustrialization and the postsocialist #mortality crisis. Beyond the premature loss of 7 million people in Eastern Europe, the lived experience of #shocktherapy continues to influence people's political preferences until today. @publichealth @sociology Happy to send pdf. https://444.hu/2023/07/20/miert-haltak-bele-magyarok-ezrei-a-rendszervaltasba

How Capitalism Destroyed Russia - YouTube

Curious as to how many will be willing to challenge their preconceptions and watch this. The west has been fed propaganda about Russia for decades.

Self harm is not to our benefit
We don't learn by #shockTherapy we only learn to misattribute fear and anger to something
And when someone asks you to harm someone innocent, you stand in their way
You must become a warrior in that moment
Even if you don't want to
We will now bend science to our will
And choose the conclusions of that experiment
Maybe science doesn't bend if our frame of reference does
A cultural shift is an accelerated frame of reference
But to us, it will bend
Write those wrongs :necoarc_dancing:

'When the zeal for #ShockTherapy in #Russia was at its peak, its cheerleaders were.. convinced that.. destruction of every.. institution would create the conditions for a national rebirth—the dream of the #BlankSlate that would recur in #Baghdad.. no matter how baldly #Yeltsin defied.. democracy, his rule was still characterized in the West as part of “a transition to democracy,”.. that would change only when #Putin began cracking down on the illegal activities of several of the oligarchs.
