	Book announcement: “The Barter Economy: Non-Monetary Transactions in Ukraine’s Budget Sector,” edited by Janusz M. Szyrmer. Kyiv: Alterpress. 2000. This book contains a collection of articles produced by the Harvard/CASE Ukraine Project’s team. The activities of the Project have been funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The problem of non-monetary settlements of the budget is closely related to the overall problem of demonetization. Price distortion, non-transparency of budget expenditures, and reduction of budget revenues are only some of the overall effects of non-monetary transactions on Ukraine’s economy. This book is an attempt to systematize the knowledge on the non-monetary settlements in the budget sphere, and to propose the strategies toward a solution of this problem.
