The dramatic events of 1989 in Poland had their roots in the
country's economic crisis of a decade earlier. In "The Polish
Economic Crisis," Batara Simatupang analyzes the economic crisis of
the late 1970s and early 1980s and places it in a wider
political-economic context. He identifies the issues involved in
this recession as a combination of governmental economic
incompetence, a lumbering bureaucracy, and the tenuous legitimacy
of the ruling communist party--all set within the international
economic environment in which Poland existed.
The book also analyzes the aftermath of this crisis and the steady
procession from recession to slump. The country's poor economic
performance, the failed attempt to reform the economic and
political systems in 1988 and 1989, the loss of geopolitical
support, and the disintegration of state socialism all culminated
in a much more serious crisis. The regime's ultimate collapse made
possible the deflationary shock and rapid transition to a market
economy in 1990. The book traces the path to Poland's political
breakthrough in 1989, relating it to the collapse of "really
existing socialism" in the rest of Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union.
