Book excerpt: Zwass, author of several books based on his experience in the central banking systems of the USSR and Poland, now balances the decidedly pessimistic views of his From Failed Communism to Underdeveloped Capitalism (M.E. Sharpe, 1992) with a more even-handed assessment of the reform experiments and economic prospects of Russia and its Slavic neighbors. He also evaluates social democracy in Western Europe, Germany's leading role in opening the Eastern markets, the likelihood of European Union membership for each post-Communist nation, and China's historic opening to the world.
