Adam Smith Goes to Moscow A Dialogue on Radical Reform

"A fascinating conversation between an Eastern European statesman... and an American economist.... The economist lays out the arguments for unfettered capitalism of a textbook variety; the statesman reminds him that reality in western economies differs significantly from such an idealized world. In a remarkably short time spent with this book, even a neophyte can learn much about the issues facing those who must grapple with the monumental task of converting economies from pale shadows of the socialist ideal to (hopefully) less pale shadows of the capitalist version."--William F. Sharpe, Nobel Laureate in Economics "Organized imaginatively and written with wit and style ... lucid and accessible."--Padma Desai, Harriman Institute for Advanced Study of the Soviet UnionAdams, Walter is the author of 'Adam Smith Goes to Moscow A Dialogue on Radical Reform' with ISBN 9780691000534 and ISBN 0691000530.
