A Paragraph to Ponder

From the NYT column by David Brooks this week - The Legacy of Fear:

"To put it another way, only 10 percent of the people living in post-communist nations are living in a place that successfully made the transition to capitalism.  Ninety percent are living under failed transitions of one sort or another.  This fact is already yielding screwed up politics in places like Hungary and Russia and will shape the 21st century."
