"This is an extraordinary book from an extraordinary person. This book is an insightful, candid and passionate account of her approach and policy experience. She has called it a 'Practical Manual' for reforms - it is that but also much more: a historical record of reforms against all odds." - Erik Berglof, Director of LSE Institute of Global Affairs

"Many emerging economies often lack practical experience in transforming themselves into fully-functioning market-oriented economies and this Practical Manual will help you with this task. Moreover, the book is precisely about how to accomplish drastic reforms in wartime - and I truly believe that the wartime of COVID-19 is an unprecedented opportunity for reform." - Valeria Gontareva, Former Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine

In addition, Valeria received a nomination for her work as the Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine in the Financial Times's Women of the Year 2019 list.
