The subject of this book is the economic backwardness of Poland and
Eastern Europe in the modern era. The studies in the first part
analyse various aspects of the region's economic and social history
in the period from the 16th to the 20th centuries, such as the
nature of peasant economics, the character of economic evolution,
and the ambiguity of social and economic relations between Poland
and "the West". The second part deals with the change following the
fall of state socialism. Papers in this part argue that, for
understanding the present, it is necessary to take into
consideration historical legacies. It is also important to look at
the process of this recent change comparatively, both within
Eastern Europe and comparing this region with other parts of the
world. Professor Kochanowicz's contention in these essays is that
the so-called transformation has had to cope not only with the
effects of state socialism, but also with a much longer legacy of
backwardness.
