Transforming Economic Systems: The Case of Poland

This book deals with the transformation of the Polish
centrally-planned system to a western-type market system.
Poland represents the most interesting case to study as it
runs an unprecedentedly radical and fast course of reform.
The book provides insights in the theoretical foundations
of the transformation of an economic system as well as a
critical assessment of first experiences in Poland. As the
authors develop theoretical approaches as well as study the
empirical situation, thebook offers valuable insights both
to the reader who is rather theoreticallyinterested and to
a pragmatically orientated audience. One of the main
features of the book is the broad variety of the subjects
chosen for analysis and of the respective approaches taken
by the authors who mostly specialize in the fields they
worked on for this book.
