'Oleh Havrylyshyn, an academic and a former policy maker, provides a fascinating account of the liberalizing transitions of former socialist countries. His unique knowledge allows him to present the basic facts and to unmask popular myths about the post-socialist transformations. He deals in a comparative way both with the economics of transition and with the political economy of this process. Writing clearly and elegantly, Havrylyshyn makes a very important contribution to a very important subject.'
