Monitoring economic transition

The Gdansk Institute for Market Economies in Poland was established to monitor the economic impact of shock therapy. This volume aims to examine the real impact of the transformation. It traces the big issues: state first behaviour, privatization, the development of the small business sector, banking reform and bad debts, Poland and Europe - which should lead to a better understanding of the transformation process not only in Poland but, given the commonality of problems, across the region.
