Extract

This edited volume, assembled by Kornai and his colleagues, addresses a vital topic in the study of postcommunist societies. Now that the “heroic phase” of rapid political and economic change is over, it seems clear that a long road remains ahead—a slow slog of step-bystep reforms through each sector of government and society in an effort to create a modern state. How should this process take place? Leaders and analysts alike desperately need a road map.
