The Successes and Failures of Economic Transition: The European Experience

by Hubert Gabrisch and Jens Hölscher

This book assumes transformation of former socialist countries of Europe to a market economy to be a political concept, having a start and an end. Transformation is analyzed from the perspective of the end (EU membership), and not of the inherited burdens from the socialist system. Additionally, the authors look at the results of transformation and its ability to improve social standards, income, and growth.
