Just do it!

Estonian economic miracle

Estonia is one of the most succesfull transition countries. From absolute misery in 1992 we have moved significantly nearer to the average European living standards in 2007, passing soon the first Western-European country – Portugal. Lot of people have asked from me how we did it. I tried to explaine this in my lecture in Heritage Foundation some weeks ago. When You are interested in it, You can read it from Heritage homepage. To put is shortly – most important is to cut yourself from communist past. When You can do this, you will be succesfull.
