Privatization in Eastern Europe
Widely regarded as the leading theoreticians of the privatization process, Professor Frydman and Rapaczynski trace the development of their thinking on privatization and its role in the transition to a market economy. They explore the interplay between politics and economics and the delicate balance between evolution and design in the process of transition. Their investigations deepen our understanding of the theory and practice of corporate ownership, and of private property and capitalism in general.
