Sudden release of price and currency controls
In economics, shock therapy is a group of policies intended to be implemented simultaneously in order to liberalize the economy, including liberalization of all prices, privatization, trade liberalization, and stabilization via tight monetary policies and fiscal policies. In the case of post-Communist states, it was implemented in order to transition from a command economy to a market economy. Notable proponents of shock therapy include American economist Jeffrey D. Sachs[1], who believes shock therapy should be accompanied by debt forgiveness.[2]
