The book analyzes the twenty years of economic transition from socialism to capitalism in Serbia. It offers a comprehensive evaluation of the achievements and failures of the transition, and explains why its course has been more complex and unique than elsewhere in the former socialist world.

'This excellent book is the result of both long years of research on post-communist transition and her personal experience accumulated in the Yugoslav federal government in 2000-1.' -Etudes Balkaniques
