A Post-Crisis Inclusive Model of Capitalism
T h e ongoing multiple crises of the COVID pandemic, high inflation, climate change and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pose formidable challenges to global growth and welfare. Policymakers will need to do their utmost to tackle them. But the ongoing crises also present an opportunity to re-build the world in a new, better and inclusive way.
Central Europe, from Estonia through Poland to Bulgaria, is on the frontline of the war in Ukraine. Being on the frontline is nothing new for the region, including in 1989 when Poland and neighbouring countries were the battlegrounds of the successful fight to end communism. Now the whole region can be on the frontline again, this time though to create a better model of capitalism that would help guide the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine and inspire other countries in Europe and beyond.
Since 1989, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has achieved significant economic, political and social success. Poland, for instance, has more than tripled its GDP per capita in purchasing power terms and has become a European and global economic success story. Other countries in the region have also done well, achieving levels of income and quality of life relative to Western Europe never seen before in their history.
