Rezensionen
'There were pleasant and unpleasant surprises in the transition process. It certainly did not occur in a vacuum and this volume, by some of the best experts on the subject, helps shed light on long-run trends in former socialist countries.' - Václav Havel, former President of Czechoslovakia (1989-1992) and President of the Czech Republic (1993-2003)

'This is an excellent volume on the transition process from central planning to a market economy. Reflecting the views of many of the most distinguished analysts, the book provides a mature perspective on one of the most important economic phenomena of the 20th and 21st century. It is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the transition.' - Jan Svejnar, Director of the International Policy Center at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, University of Michigan.
