Is Homo Sovieticus still alive?
Description
In this episode we’re diving into the fascinating subject of how the communist legacy and institutional transitions from communism to a market-oriented economy, shape individuals' well-being, education, health, and social mobility. My guest is Anna Nicińska, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and the Digital Economy Lab, University of Warsaw. Her recent studies focus on the impact of political regimes on societies in Central and Eastern Europe. We talk about the impact of communist legacy on choices related to healthcare, family support, education, and private car ownership.
