'This volume will establish Frydman and Rapaczynski as the leading theoreticians of
the transition to capitalism. [They] have laid out for us how to begin thinking

In Privatization in Eastern Europe: Is the State Withering Away?, the authors, who have put
forward widely discussed policy proposals and been eyewitnesses to Eastern Europe's
efforts to build capitalism on the ruins of communism, analyze the difficulties of
privatization and the strategies most likely to overcome them. They explore the
interplay between politics and economics and the delicate balance between evolution
and design in the process of transition. Their investigations deepen our understanding
of the theory and practice of corporate ownership, and of private property and
capitalism in general.
About previous work by the authors:
'Roman Frydman, Andrzej Rapaczynski . . . have been in the forefront of creative thinking about
privatization in the post-commnnist societies.'
Jeffrey D. Sachs
Galen L. Stone Professor of International Trade, Harvard University, and Advisor to several
governments in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

privatization movement, but they are amongst its most experienced practioners. Their insistence on
truly opening tip privatization to market forces and free competition may prove decisive to the ultimate
success or failure of the privatization reforms now sweeping Eastern Europe.'
