Abstract "This book is an ethnography of practices of health and care in post-socialist Lithuania. It focuses on how informal payments - "little white envelopes" - are prevailed in public health care in the times of economic shortages during socialism and during the fundamental transformations to capitalism despite multiple efforts to curtail them."-- Provided by publisher.
