‘As the first full-length book treatment of the Mongolian economy since the abandonment of central planning, this is a welcome addition to the literature . . . this book is likely to become a standard reference on this crucial period in Mongolia’s economic history. It contains a wealth of material, and the individual contributions are marked by common sense and reasonable balance. Anybody wanting an introduction to the Mongolian economy will find it here. . .’
– Richard R. Pomfret, Slavic Review

‘There are few subjects about which more pernicious nonsense is written than the problems of countries in transition from central planning to the market. The authors of this book have performed a double service to the reader. First, they have provided a sensible, balanced, and informative discussion of the problems of transition, as an antidote to free market fundamentalism. Second, they provide a thorough treatment of a country about which relatively little is written. The book can be read with profit by both the Asian specialist and someone interested in the problems of transition in general.’
– John Weeks, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK

In 1990 Mongolia, the second oldest communist state in the world, initiated a fundamental transformation of its economy and moved rapidly to a multi-party democracy. Unlike any other Asian economy it adopted the shock-therapy approach to transition.
