Beschreibung
I read the book “Sustainable Development and Creative Destruction – Economic Opportunities and Challenges in Eastern Europe” (edited by Ion Pohoaţă and Andreea-Oana Iacobută) with a real great interest. The Romanian researchers are well versed not only in the world of economic thought (you will find references to the classics, but also to contemporary theorists), but above all in economic history. The authors are well aware of the specifics of Eastern Europe and its systemic differences. Studying the individual chapters, I noticed many parallels between the cases described in the various countries of the former communist system. This work also has great interdisciplinary value. Not only economists, but also sociologists and social geographers can draw from it. Inspiring.

This book explores sustainable development from the perspective of the post-communist experience of Eastern Europe. Taking into account the specific characteristics of different countries within Eastern Europe, the contrast between economic theory and practice is highlighted. An understanding of the economic development of the Eastern Europe is presented to provide insights into the challenges, in particular the juxtaposition of new and old traditions, and opportunities for sustainable development in this area.
This book highlights how the implementation of sustainable development policies is dependent on culture, institutions, history, and geography. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in environmental economics and the economic development of Eastern Europe.

“The challenges brought by the fall of the communism in Eastern Europe in 1989 illustrated the economic, political, social and cultural drama experienced by Eastern Europe societies after the Second World War. A Schumpeterian process of creative destruction took place in Eastern Europe in the transition from communism to capitalism, consisting into an evolving institutional transformation and a development process that is still ongoing. Focusing on these issues, this important book edited by Ion Pohoata and Andreea-Oana Iacobuta, touches on problems such as sustainable development in Eastern Europe, money, credit and Central Banks, the local context of capitalism and historical specificity in Eastern Europe, labour-capital- resources nexus, etc., in the attempt to find explanations and deep understanding of the development struggles in post-communist societies, demonstrating a worthwhile contribution to the relevant literature and scientific knowledge.” (Dr. Ioana Negru, University ‘Lucian Blaga’ Sibiu, Romania).
