"In a single generation, the transformation of Eastern Europe from stagnation under Communism to dynamism within the EU and the global economy has transformed its citizens’ lives, raising their living standards to those of the most developed countries in the world. What are the sources of this success and can this outstanding performance last? A team of experts answers these questions and provides a deep analysis of East Europe’s challenges and of the decisions that must be made now to continue this incredible trajectory." — Josef C.
