| Summary: | In the early 1990s, when the break-up of the soviet bloc spread to the Balkans, dominant neoliberal economic wisdom recommended swift privatization of public assets, deregulation, and dismantling of the social safety net.

We conclude by offering five policy recommendations that should, when enacted, reduce market distortions and yield significant economic growth.
