Description : Since the beginning of the XIXth century, the countries of Central Europe (in the first place) and those of Eastern Europe (a little later) underwent a transformation towards a capitalist system in their economies. After 150 years, many of these countries, located in the area of influence assigned by the Big Powers to the Soviet Union, moved away from capitalism and turned to a strictly centralized economic system, imposed at first by the force of arms and later by "socialist dictatorships". They were experiences that failed. Therefore, as from 1989 - 1990, the "goings" towards market economy began again. A "going" towards integrated Europe, a "going" towards the future. The analysis of these situations allows to show the costs, the profits, the losses, and the possibilities of foreseeing them in the future. Conclusions of great weight which will be useful for future economic decisions.
