And yet in terms of economic development countries which joined EU are doing quite markedly better than those that didn't. Obviously, there's some selection bias -- only those who sort of had their shit together were allowed to join. And also just plain market access would have account for some of that. But still, as a person who grew up in EE in the 90s, I feel like people are very quick to forget how bad it really was, and how quickly -- within a generation -- things drastically improved, and how unusual that is.
