The paper is concerned with the distribution of household incomes in Eastern Europe before the economic transformation that began in 1990. Was there less inequality in these countries under Communism than in Western economies? If so, and if inequality can be expected to rise to Western levels with the economic transformation now underway, how large an increase in average income is necessary to compensate the bottom income groups? We present empirical evidence for four Eastern European countries: Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Poland, and the former USSR.
