Economic Reform In Hungary Since 1968 - Occasional Paper 83 (S083Ea0000000)

Even as a member of the old COMECON, Hungary pursued a degree of economic liberalism that set it aside from its Eastern European neighbours. Hungary was the first centrally planned economy to introduce a broad market-oriented reform in 1968. With the collapse of communism, the Hungarian economy faces new challenges within an altogether different context. This book charts the Hungarian economy since that pioneering attempt to move away from centrally-planned rigidity.
