Abstract: The transition from a planned to a market oriented economy requires a complex amalgam of stabilization, liberalization and privatization policies. This paper outlines a combination of policies believed to be necessary, if not sufficient to enlist the efficiency of market mechanisms along with a more equalitarian distribution of wealth that can provide a natural safety for citizens during the transition process.
