    Very nice read, even though I was familiar with most of the contents already.

    But I need to ask, does someone know why it’s exactly Poland out of all the former eastern bloc countries, to be the most (and only) successful one?

    Also does anybody maybe have some literature on this topic, comparing polish economics during and after socialism?

      I’ll look into it. All I know is Poland was the most dogshit socialist experiment to have ever existed. It’s almost like their own party was trying to sabotage it.
