Institutional Barriers to Economic Development: Poland's Incomplete Transition

Poland's transition from socialism to capitalism has largely been praised as a success story. In reality, however, Poland's case is an "incomplete" transition. Looking at the processes involved in economic transition, covering key issues including financial markets, labour market, competition and intervention, social security, property rights and attitudes towards the changing political economy, this book provides a wide-ranging and invaluable study of economic development. It will be of great use to economists, those involved in Russian and East European studies, and political scientists.
