Celebrating twenty years of transition from socialism to capitalism, this book is designed to be the core textbook for undergraduate courses in transition economics and comparative economic systems. Given the passage of time, Transition Economics: Two Decades On reviews and accounts for the outcomes in the so-called transition economies and, from an academic perspective, takes the reader through developments and issues in the twenty years of transition from plan to market. Treating its subject matter thematically, the book incorporates much of the transition economics literature and evidence that have evolved over the past two decades. In particular, the authors focus on the most important aspects of economic transition, including: <ul>
<li>the initial conditions at the outset of transition</li> <li>paradigms and patterns of transition</li> <li>the main transition policies and economic reforms</li> <li>the performance of transition countries and firms</li> <li>the lessons from transition.</li> </ul> The textbook covers a wide range of both contemporary microeconomic and macroeconomic issues, in over thirty ex-socialist European and Asian countries, including Russia and China. Transition Economics: Two Decades On is more than just a book about a particular part of the world or the transformation that was experienced at a particular time in history. The authors believe that the study of the economics of transition gives the reader an insight into theories, policies, reforms, legacies, institutions, processes and lessons that have application and relevance, beyond the specific transition from plan to market, to other parts of the world and to other times in history.

Transition Economics

The Mad Pomegranate & the Praying Mantis&nbsp;tells the story of a playwright who&nbsp;went to Spain to make a film about the poet Federico Garcia Lorca. He made&nbsp;the film and stayed on in Andalusia with his wife and five children for&nbsp;another ten years. When the playwright, Peter Luke (1919-95), had a West End success with one&nbsp;of his stage plays,&nbsp;Hadrian VII, he bought an almond, lemon and olive farm. His Andalusian way of life suggested parallels with that of Publius&nbsp;Vergilis Maronis, the Virgil of the&nbsp;Bucolics&nbsp;and the&nbsp;Georgics,&nbsp;and Peter Luke,&nbsp;through his carefully selected and beautifully presented description, admits us&nbsp;to share his own arcadian experience. The Mad Pomegranate & the Praying Mantis&nbsp;is an apologia for bucolic man&nbsp;in an increasingly urbanised world, and the author conveys his pleasure in&nbsp;this world in a manner that will delight the reader, however urbanised.
