Zusammenfassung:The collapse of socialism at the end of the 20th century brought devastating changes to Mongolia. Economic shock therapy - an immediate liberalization of trade and privatization of publicly owned assets - quickly led to impoverishment, especially in rural parts of the country, where 'Tragic Spirits' takes place.
