Description: If free markets and private ownership are meant to increase economic opportunity and welfare, why has their introduction been accompanied by such pain in Eastern Europe and Russia? The contributors to this book believe that future reform strategies in any country depend on understanding what has occurred in these emerging economies so far.

Issues addressed include inflation, privatization, enterprise restructuring, banking reform and labor market policy, and the role of decentralization in China's growth.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [219]-232) and index.
Papers based on a series of meetings among members of the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics.
