Studying the experience in the quarter century since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Simeon Djankov shows that the post-communist economic project has been more successful than the political project. It appears that while post-communist reformers more or less knew how to do economic reform, few had any idea how to build democracy. As a result, the divergence in democracy and political rights is 3 to 4 times larger than the divergence in economic freedom and the ease of doing business. The analysis suggests that democracy is not harder to predict than economic evolution—history predicts it well. However, at the start of post-communist transformation social scientists just didn’t know how to predict political evolution. Recent authoritarian regressions in Hungary and Poland, countries with successful economic reforms, present a new challenge to researchers. ]]>
