Following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, Mongolia entered a period of economic chaos characterized by wild inflation disappearing banks and closing farms factories and schools. During this time of widespread poverty a generation of young adults came of age. In exploring the social cultural and existential ramifications of a transition that has become permanent and acquired a logic of its own Lars H jer and Morten Axel Pedersen present a new theorization of social agency in postsocialist as well as postcolonial contexts.
