Beskrivning

Employing historical analysis and building on growth theory and modern political economy, Dillon and Wykoff explain Soviet disintegration and analyze efforts to create capitalism in newly independent states. They show how five fundamental economic reforms generate growth, and use an original model to test the connections between reforms, elections and economic performance.The authors examine the progress of six countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Russia and Slovakia) in terms of each country's history and its successful application of the five reforms. Anyone interested in how capitalism works and why pro-market reforms encounter resistance in spite of their potential for generating higher living standards will find this book essential reading.

Recensioner i media

'The book's focus is on select major background forces that influence (either constructively or otherwise) the reform policies being adopted by decision makers at a given phase of an economy's reform path. Empirical verification of the relationship between non economic variables and the implementation of select economic policies and their resulting consequences constitutes a valuable contribution to the fields of economic research. Considering the scope of the authors' research focus, the cogent materials are succinctly presented in a readable fashion that will be accessible to students and scholars in the field of systematic transformation. . . . This volume will be of interest to students and scholars interested in the field of economic restructuring and transitional economics.'
