Description

The contributors to this volume analyze the general problems of economic transition in countries of the former Eastern bloc: changing the ownership structure, abolishing the command economy, and integrating with the world economy. Because unique political, economic and social conditions in each nation require individual policy solutions, the contributors examine reform issues and economic policies on a country-by-country basis.
