Abstract

After the collapse of the Communist regimes, the countries of the former Soviet Union found themselves with only a very small amount of goods to supply to the global market. An economy of this type is nothing more than a 'necroeconomy.' Dead firms ('zombie-firms') do exist and 'successfully' function in the most developed of economies. Unlike developed economies, which are exposed to the threat of the zombie-ing of the economy under the conditions of a financial crisis, this threat is even greater for the countries of post-Communist capitalism owing also to their exposure to necroeconomy.

Keywords: post-communist capitalism, financial crisis, necroconomics, zombie-nomics
