Summary:
Many argue that Europe has performed anemically as it struggles to recover from the global crisis. But, Anders Aslund argues that although Europe is an institutional half-way house, the East European countries have masterfully handled the crisis. The Last Shall Be the First: East European Financial Crisis isolates the causes of the crisis in Eastern Europe, charts the crisis resolution actions of major international institutions, and advances solutions in the region's recovery phase. Specifically, Aslund examines the eruption and resolution of the crisis in the Baltics, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria. In addition to his focus on individual countries, he also considers the broader implications of the European crisis, and asks why the social and regulatory environment of central Europe enabled it to recover more easily.
