Tonality and Atonality: A Systemic Aspect of Patchwork Capitalism
Main Article Content
Abstract
The text analyzes elements of patchwork capitalism in Central and Eastern Europe, framing them through Weber’s ideal type concept. It adopts an essayistic style, using a metaphor taken from aesthetic – tonality and atonality – to discuss various arenas and fields of interaction. This metaphor describes the “tonal” and “atonal” games of interest at play within system, with particular emphasis on local, microsystemic practices. Author argues that everyday participatory actions at the micro level may hold the seeds of macrosystemic change.
