Vladimer Papava, former Minister of Economy in Georgia between 1994 and 2000 and now a Fulbright Scholar at the Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), is just the kind of person you want in your intellectual company, and probably in your government too. Widely read and articulate, able to fashion vivid images in conversation or in text, he communicates effectively and knows what he thinks. And while many economists already know his work, this volume brings both his disciplinary accomplishment and practical experience to a broader community of scholars and policy makers. It's a good read, and a provocative challenge to what Kennedy has called transition culture. |
