In the time span of a two-term US presidency, Poland went from an
authoritarian one-party state with a faltering centrally planned
economy to become a relatively stable multiparty democracy and a
market economy with one of the highest GDP growth rates in Europe.
A central feature of these economic and political reforms is a high
rate of entry of new, domestically owned firms. This book uses
detailed economic and political data to examine how these new firms
contributed to the Polish transition. The authors test propositions
about why some regions have more new firms than others and how the
success of these new firms contributed to political constituencies
that supported economically liberal parties. The book concludes by
contrasting the Polish with the experiences of other transitional
countries.
