It is now almost a decade since central and east Europe saw the
demise of the Soviet-style economic planning which accompanied more
ot less authoritarian political rule by communist parties. The
economic thought, based on Marxist philosophy, which formed
theoretical underpinning of centrally planned socialist economies,
was peculiar to the region, and was radically different from
mainstream western thought. Written by leading east European
scholars, this volume provides a comprehensive and authoritative
resource: a wide-ranging overview of fifty years of economic
thinking under communist rule in Europe and during the first phase
of post-communist transformation. It also provides an analytical
assessment of the impact of economic science on the reform and
transition process. The book includes six country-specific studies,
for Russia, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Eastern Germany and
Yugoslavi. Each one surveys the relevant literature and its
interaction with the development of the socialist and
post-socialist economic system in the period 1945-1996. The studies
show that, despite Soviet dominance and the shared Marxist
paradigm, development of economic thought was not uniform, a
finding which supports the hypothesis formulated in the
introductory chapter that differences in system critique and reform
thinking can explain later differences in transformational
performance. Laszalo Csaba, Budapest University of Economics,
