Transition from Communism to Wild Capitalism: Media Coverage of Public Resources and Common Goods in South Eastern Europe

During the transition from communist states to capitalism and democracy, concepts of common goods, public resources, and ‘spreading the wealth around’ showed how society changed tremendously in many east European countries. Old ideas were no longer acceptable since many associated them with former, non-democratic regimes. Yet, faced with some of the wildest forms of ‘wild capitalism’ and corruption, public opinion slowly started to change. Streets and building occupation became quite popular way of protesting and in some cases - in spite of lack of long democratic tradition and with the help of media - struggle for better environment and public resources was quite a success.
