Summary/Abstract: Post-socialist systemic transition was a huge institutional change. Its aim was a democracy and a market economy which also required the introduction of the rule of law. In terms of political freedom, economic freedom and rule of law post-socialist countries differed significantly from the democratic capitalist economies.
