Institutional Barriers to Economic Development

Poland's transition from socialism to capitalism

has largely been praised as a success story. In reality, however, according to this study, Poland's case is an incomplete transition.

Processes involved in economic transition

covering key issues including financial markets, labour markets, competition and intervention, social security, property rights and attitudes towards the changing political economy, this book provides a wide-ranging and invaluable study of economic development. It will be of great use to economists, those involved in Russian and East European studies, and political scientists.
