Central and Eastern Europe

Péter Földvári

Chapter 32 in An Economist’s Guide to Economic History, 2018, pp 277-284 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the economic history of Central and Eastern Europe. The focus is initially placed on the region’s first round of modernisation, between 1850 and 1914. Subsequently, the chapter discusses the introduction of socialism and central planning after World War II and its implications for the region’s economic growth and development. A key feature explored is that this region is in many respects similar to Western Europe but remains significantly poorer.
