Opis

The agricultural privatization strategy adopted in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania was based on the premise that family farms are the most effective alternative to socialist large-scale agriculture. This book provides a critical and comparative analysis of the implementation of this policy, and in particular the strategy promoted by the World Bank.
