| Summary: | A decade ago, with the breakup of the Soviet Union and the start of market-oriented reforms in many former socialist economies of Central andEastern Europe, the prospect of privatizing inefficient state-ownedcompanies figured prominently in both popular and academic writings. As the headline event symbolizing change from central planning to capitalism, privatization seemed to promise an end to the inefficienciesof central planning - the key to freeing the resources and talents of this huge area and lifting its living standards to those of the industrial countries. What broad lessons were learned from the experienceof the past ten years? Along with their successes, prominent failureshave also marked this recent history, especially in Russia and in othercountries of the former Soviet Union. The overall task ahead thus remains vast if the original vision of greater freedom and higher livingstandards is to be realized.
