Accidental Occidental: Economics and Culture of Transition in Mitteleuropa, the Baltic and the Balkan Area

by Lajos Bokros

Besides providing a historical record of the long road from the economic agenda of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution to the present transition from communism, this book can be considered a staunch defense of market capitalism and liberal democracy. Any celebration of the current transition in Eastern Europe necessarily affirms the superiority of a market system over a non-market one and of a democratic system over a non-democratic one.
