Opis

Prior to the breakdown of communism in the Eastern Bloc, reform minded economists had experimented with the concepts of market socialism which presented no real challenge to the basics of the Soviet-type system. However, those same economists are now formulating radical proposals for deregulation, privatization and political democratization. This book tries to understand the intellectual background that changed these reformers into transformers and examines the problems of managing this dramatic transition.
