Westerners report on the Business Climate, while working in Latvia: "If you've been in a coma the last eight years and are returning to the Baltic states for the first time since then, you'll hardly recognize the place. To say that the business environment has changed for the better is a gross understatement." and "Compared to elsewhere in the former Soviet bloc ... the Baltic states are paradises for foreign investors."

And Eastern Europe also has cultural traditions of free enterprise dating back to the 1200's.
