The greatest challenges to economic reform, Sachs points out, have been primarily political in nature, rather than social or even economic. Sachs reviews Poland's striking progress since the start of the economic reforms three years ago, which he helped to design. He discusses the gains - more than half of employment and GDP is now in the private sector, exports to Western Europe have more than doubled, and economic growth and confidence are returning - as well as the serious problems that remain - high unemployment, a chronic fiscal deficit, the slow pace of privatization of large industrial enterprises, and the fragility of multiparty coalition governments.Sachs points out that leadership is crucial to economic reform in a newly democratic setting, as is the West's timely economic assistance. In Poland's case, the Zloty Stabilization Fund and the two-stage debt cancellation have been essential to keeping the reform program on track. Poland's example has had a powerful impact on reforms throughout the region, including the former Soviet Union, and has done much to dispel the fear that the citizens themselves, allegedly made lazy by decades of socialism, would reject the competitive rigors of a market economy. Overall, Sachs remains firmly convinced of the potential for successful economic reforms in Poland and the rest of the region. 001385970 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001385970 650_0 $$aCapitalism$$zPoland. 001385970 651_0 $$aPoland$$xEconomic policy$$y1981-1990. 001385970 651_0 $$aPoland$$xEconomic conditions$$y1981-1990. 001385970 653__ $$aECONOMICS/Political Economy 001385970 653__ $$aECONOMICS/International Economics 001385970 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001385970 852__ $$bebk 001385970 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/5430.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001385970 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001385970 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1385970$$pGLOBAL_SET 001385970 980__ $$aBIB 001385970 980__ $$aEBOOK 001385970 982__ $$aEbook 001385970 983__ $$aOnline
