First sentence: The turn of the century is a time when the world is reflecting on the first decade of one of the most momentous transformations in modern history.
Description: "The former socialist countries' transition to market economies is one of the momentous transformations in modern history. The pace and degree of success have varied widely, and there is increasing divergence in performance, structure, and institutions among the transition economies. These differences are largely determined by country-specific conditions and political configurations.

This book compares the experiences of the countries involved over the first ten years to determine what has worked and failed, as well as the nature of the challenges that lie ahead."--BOOK JACKET.
