Political Economy of Poland's Transition - Jackson, John E. (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) a Klich, Jacek (Jagiellonian University, Krakow) a Poznanska, Krystyna (Warsaw School of Economics)

How did Poland go from an authoritarian one-party state with a faltering centrally planned economy to become a relatively stable multiparty democracy and a market economy? This book explains these successes by the high rate of creation and growth of new, domestically owned firms between 1990 and 1997.
