As demonstrated by the Polish case, the key to this process is the rate at which new enterprises are created. These enterprise, not the privatization of existing ones, are primarily responsible for the creation of a growing pivate economy. This evolving new economy, securely based and growing, creates a pro-reform constituency in the regions where it occurs. This constituency supports pro-reform parties. The Polish case offers important lessons about the reform process and about the way economies and political constituencies co-evolve
