Transition Economies and Foreign Trade (Routledge Studies of Societies in Transition, 17)

the long version

"Transition Economies and Foreign Trade makes the bold claim to have solved puzzles that have hindered the subject for years. By taking the distortions of the communist era into consideration, Winiecki has explained the phenomenon of the decline in output and trade, as well as the disappearance of dual commodity structure of exports in the early transition phase." "This book should become essential reading for students and academics with an interest in international economics as well as being of great use to business analysts and policy makers."--Jacket.
