Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to identify the differences in international students’ perception of sources of private wealth resulting from their country-specific experience. In particular, it was interesting to see whether there would be significant differences in the opinions of students representing wellestablished economies and those from post-socialist or transition economies. The results of this study are based on the qualitative directed content analysis of 106 essays titled What are the main private wealth drivers in your country? written by students from Poland, Austria, Russia, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, and Ukraine.
