"The reaction time at LBO companies has got to be a lot quicker, because they must generate cash fast enough to beat those interest-payment deadlines...
...worse may be yet to come. To restructure the country's antiquated industry, Poland must abandon many of the concepts that have governed the economy for 40 years. Inefficient mines, mills and factories will have to be closed. Unemployment will have to be tolerated. So will growing differentials in wages and living standards. Hardest of all for party members will be the loss of cradle-to-grave security...
