Varieties of Capitalism and Development in Transition Economies Since the Fall of the Berlin Wall

Author

  • Pasquale Tridico
Abstract
With the benefit of more than twenty years of hindsight, we can begin to draw conclusions about the varieties of economic transition adopted in countries under Soviet influence after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This economist draws fascinating conclusions, the most important of which is that public investment in education and health and expanding political rights are critical to both economic growth and human development.
