Review: "In the time span of a two-term U.S. presidency, Poland changed from being an authoritarian one-party state with a faltering centrally planned economy to become a relatively stable multiparty democracy with a market economy with one of the highest GDP growth rates in Europe. A central feature of these economic and political reforms is a high entry rate for new, domestically owned firms. Using detailed economic and political data, this book examines how these new firms contributed to the Polish transition."--BOOK JACKET.
