"This book provides an authoritative vivisection of the goals, behavior, and strategies of the Serbian Orthodox Church, and sheds light on the chuavinism behind the myths of martyrdom. Byford's claims and conclusions are well supported by strong evidence, most of which comes from Church sources and Velimirović's own works. No serious student of Serbia should miss this impressive book." - Politics and Religion on Denial and Repression of Antisemitism

Leszek Balcerowicz,

"In this book Prof Balcerowicz brings together

possible." - Financial Times
Balcerowicz summarizes the research on institutions,
institutional change, and human behavior that he has

model of economic reform.
