We ask in this very special episode of our Pocket Dilemmas podcast. \nHow far have their dreams of freedoms and prosperity been realised?\nAnd what is the future for market economics, democracy and political pluralism in these EBRD regions?\n\nOur special guests, BBC Moscow correspondent Steve Rosenberg, author of a new documentary on the 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik, help us shed light on these questions and the influence exerted on them by the rise of populism.\n\nLike what you hear?
