RUSSIAN CINEMA IN THE FREE-MARKET REALM: STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL For a motto of this article I would like to paraphrase the title of Werner Herzog's 1974 film Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle(1) (Every Man for Himself and God Against All) to read: Every Director for Himself and the Free Market Against All. The Hungarian-born social economist and philosopher Karl Polanyi provides a useful theoretical framework for the current situation in post-Communist national cinemas. In his ground-breaking work The Great Transformation: The Political and Economic Origins of Our Time (1944) he critiques the inherent tendency of an all powerful market to subordinate and manipulate society. His famous dictum "laissez-faire was planned, central planning was not" rings more true today on the basis of post Communist experience, than at the time he wrote his book between the wars.(2) Polanyi has consistently warned against the dangers of separation...

Ruskin's constructive political economy is often thought to consist of the proposals for social regeneration made in Time and Tide and Fors Clavigera. These works, however, do not include what the late John A. Hobson regarded as Ruskin's principal contribution to constructive economic theory: the development of the concepts social utility and social cost. Because of the importance of these concepts in Hobson's own economy, Hobson might be considered—-as indeed he often said he was—Ruskin's disciple. It is perhaps more accurate to say that he was an original social economist who always admired and defended Ruskin.

I consider the task of reviewing this book an honor as well as a challenge.My task is made even more difficult and the challenge moE significantwhen I read excellent reviews from both intellectual spectra,Western as well as Islamic. From the West, Kenneth Boulding, an eminentbehavioral scientist and social economist, expresses his admirationboth for the author’s readable style as well as the depth and the maturityof his knowledge when he writes:This is an excellent work . . . His understanding is quitesophisticated. At the same time his style is clear and he writeswith humanity and a very deep concern for the welfare of thehuman race.From the East, the book has already received and incorporated commentsand suggestions from a number of economists at the forefront ofresearch in Islamic economics, among them Dr. Nejatullah Siddiqui andProfessor Khurshid Ahmad. The latter economist has very succinctly summarizednot only his own views but also thm of other Islamic scholarswhen, in the foreword, he writes:Dr. Chapra has dealt with the subject as a trained social scientistand objective Islamic scholar. His grasp of the contemporarysystems and their problems is thorough and incisive, his presentationof Islamic economic order is concise and convincing. Hisbalanced critique of the western systems as well as that of thecontemporary Islamic society is presented in a style that isscholarly yet simple, clear and prescriptive. . . . Dr. Chapra hasclearly demonstrated that well being can not be attained throughthe pursuit of material possessions alone and that efficiency andequity can become operational concepts only if they are redefinedin the context of their linkage to moral values and socioeconomicstructures.”
