Latvia the challenges of change optimistic or fantasy

Very concise conversation with two authors, ending with the phrase post-independence hangover. Very quick review of history with references if you really want to know more, and interesting piece of politics and history of the 50 years of Soviet domination, but a reminder that there were really only 30 years of independence, sort of a blink of an eye within a millenium. It has a realistic view of what is and wheter it is good or bad depends on what you are comparing it to. When you read it keep your biases in perspective to what you are reading
