Revitalizing Socialist Enterprise: A Race Against Time

Revitalizing Socialist Enterprise examines the privatization efforts in former socialist states in the context of restructuring governments, industries, enterprises and management. The contributors — a group of experts on each of the countries discussed — examine a cross-section of principal features across all the countries, revealing striking similarities and differences in approaches to structural change. The book includes two chapters on Russia representing very different viewpoints, details of the Czechoslovakian ''voucher'' privatization scheme, two case studies of the break-up of large enterprises in East Germany, and studies of China, Poland, North Korea and Cuba.
