About this book

Examines the institutional developments in 28 transition economies over the past two decades and concludes that, contrary to popular belief, institutions were not neglected; while personalities mattered as much as policies for outcomes, getting the basic institutions right was the most important aspect of a successful transition.

Reviews

"This is an outstanding and path-breaking piece of work on the role of institutions and transition as a whole. It reads very much like Douglass North, but unlike North Hartwell provides empirical proofs through regression analysis."

Anders Åslund, Senior Fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington DC
