Tales from Albarado
It is interesting the statement made the the schemes were made to mediate the "transition" from socialism to neoliberalism. The thing that could be seen though is that socialist entrepreneurship with politics of privatization of the state would not lead to a capitalist (free market) and thus damage a country that was self-sufficient because they were unable to promote greater goods with this socialist entrepreneurship method. But that's also why the Albanian infrastructure failed because the entrepreneurship method being used did not push for greater goods, but hit a quota.

Thanks for reading and commenting on my article, Conner. And yes, the pyramid schemes were both a sort of mediator but also a barrier to better economics in early post socialist Albania. I have more to say about this but perhaps we can find a time later in the semester to discuss in class if students are interested.
