About this book

Highlighting recent revolutionary changes, this volume deals with the ongoing transformation from central planning towards more efficient economic structures in Eastern and Central Europe and the former USSR. Political democracy and the creation of market economies have now become realistic aims but the process of reform is only just beginning and is likely to take many years. The papers and discussions deal with systematic changes, deregulation, abolition of price controls and macroeconomic fiscal and monetary policies needed to stabilise the economics and to implement appropriate structural changes.

Reviews

...Her excellent book will certainly be placed on the reading list by teachers of very many courses, myself included....Marie Lavigne is an outstanding, highly knowledgeable representative....One of the book's main merits is its very rich store of information. It contains much data and a great number of lucid and informative tables.' - János Kornai, Harvard University and Collegium Budapest
