An award-winning history of the transformation of Europe between
1989 and today In this award-winning book, Philipp Ther provides
the first comprehensive history of post-1989 Europe, offering a
sweeping narrative filled with vivid details and memorable stories.
Europe since 1989 shows how liberalization, deregulation, and
privatization had catastrophic effects on former Soviet Bloc
countries. Ther refutes the idea that this economic "shock therapy"
was the basis of later growth, arguing that human capital and the
"transformation from below" determined economic success or failure.
He also shows how the capitalist West's effort to reshape Eastern
Europe in its own likeness ended up reshaping Western Europe,
especially Germany. Bringing the story up to the present, Ther
compares Eastern and Southern Europe after the 2008-9 global
financial crisis. A compelling account of how the new order of
Europe was wrought from the chaotic aftermath of the Cold War,
Europe since 1989 is essential reading for understanding
post-Brexit Europe and the present dangers for democracy and the
European Union.
