So, the Polish success is not the neck-breaking hard work of millions of Poles when Balcerowicz told them they're on their own, it's the "institutions". The bureaucrats and the EU saved the Poles, who were sitting and drinking vodka i guess. No wonder nobody is treating the Academia seriously anymore. The real experts are in the private sector.
The words of Mr Stiglitz are disgusting when he speaks laughingly about "colonial" families being massacred in riots fueled by racial hatred; and then blaming the victims by imputing the failures of uneducated civil servents on the "colons" not teaching them.
Truly appreciated this insightful conversation. Thank you both.
