NOTES: |
The Agony of Reform explores the failure of government - controlled economies in the 1980s and how new leaders embraced the ideas of reform and "shock therapy" - a rapid conversion to free-market capitalism. The program focuses on how reform played out in Russia, the eastern bloc, Latin America, India, and other countries as they lived through the upheavals of rapid change, coping with both the new freedoms and the new issues of privatization, deregulation, and the shock of free - wheeling competition. |
