ago, acad.Constantin Ionete's study devoted to the presentation and analysis of
the Romanian economy during the communist dictatorship and an introduction to a
monography of transition, was read only by a restricted number of specialists,
remaining not known by the public opinion. Besides its remarkable scientific
value, the study has a high topicality - even greater than on date of its
inception ...".
