From Plan To Market

This clear and accessible text explores Vietnam's successful transition from neo-Stalinist central planning to a market economy-"Vietnamese style." After describing the north Vietnamese system prior to 1975 and its colonial and precolonial antecedents, the authors uncover the mechanisms of that changeover.
