Economic Policies of Populist Leaders: A Central and Eastern European Perspective

Providing an analysis of Central and Eastern European economies, this book explores the economic impacts of populism in the regions of populist rule. This book demonstrates that studying macroeconomic variables such as fiscal balance or current account positions cannot tell the whole story of the economic consequences of populism.
