And won. And then forgot the hard-earned lessons.<\/p>\n<p>After World War II, the Attlee government nationalized everything: coal, steel, railways, airlines, gas, electricity, telecoms. By 1979, state-owned industries were 10% of the economy. The result was predictable. Inflation topped 25%. The fiscal deficit hit 10% of GDP. Sterling crashed. In 1976, Britain crawled to the IMF for a $3.9 billion bailout\u2014the largest the Fund had ever issued.<\/p>\n<p>That humiliation produced Margaret Thatcher. She did to Britain what Balcerowicz would later do to Poland: privatized state industries, broke the unions\u2019 stranglehold, deregulated markets, cut subsidies, restructured taxes.

From $37,692 to $62,915 Poland is closing the gap from less than half of Canada\u2019s level to within striking distance. The compounding power of good policy is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>Reform is not a one-time event. It\u2019s a direction of travel. Poland kept travelling.
