Institutional Barriers to Economic Development Summary

Institutional Barriers to Economic Development: Poland's Incomplete Transition by Jan Winiecki (University of Information Technology and Management, Rzeszow, and Tischner School of European Studies, Cracow, Poland)

Poland's transition from socialism to capitalism has largely been praised as a success story. In reality, however, according to this study, Poland's case is an 'incomplete' transition.
Looking at the processes involved in economic transition, covering key issues including financial markets, labour markets, 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.
