    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    For many, Russia's political influence far exceeds its weight in the global economy. Richard Connolly demonstrates that in fact Russia's economy affords it global power, and explores how its socialist past has shaped its economic system into a unique blend of state and market.

    Long description:

    Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring

    Russia is one of the largest economies in the world; it is one of the world's most important exporters of oil and gas, and of other natural resources. Its status as one of the largest wheat and grain exporters shapes commodity prices across the globe, while Russia's enormous arms industry provides it with the means to pursue an assertive foreign policy.

    This Very Short Introduction shows how Russia's economy is one of global significance, and helps explain why many enduring features, such as the heavy hand of the state and the emphasis on military-industrial production, have persisted despite the immense changes that took place after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991.

These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
