Johnson* INTRODUCTION From 1945 until 1989, the world operated in two distinct economic spheres: the Soviet controlled economies and the United States and its allies.' In 1989, the governments of the Soviet bloc began collapsing and the wall dividing the two worlds crumbled. During the 1990's, Europe's economic growth was impressive considering the integration of the two distinct economic systems of the capitalist West and the communist East. Currently, the merging of the Eastern European econo- mies into the larger Western European market is not complete, but the countries have taken Herculean steps in this unprece- dented effort.
