Editorial Reviews

Examines the differences and similarities between a given group of American entrepreneurs and Polish entrepreneurs during the early 1990s. Presents the findings of an investigation begun shortly after the change of government in Poland in 1990, and discusses several important issues. Addresses the lasting impact on Polish entrepreneurs of the pervasive influence of an ideology that severely discouraged activity for private benefit.
