Market Reforms in Socialist Societies:
Comparing China and Hungary
Hardcover: $45.00
ISBN: 978-15587-096-6
The economic problems that both Hungary and China have experienced are in many ways representative of a common set of serious difficulties faced by the entire communist world. Thus, the market reforms that have been designed to solve those problems may provide answers that are widely applicable to socialist command economies in general. In this book, eminent Chinese and Hungarian scholars evaluate the present status of market reforms in their countries and assess their own and each other's problems and achievements. Commentaries by U.S. specialists are also included. Although the authors primarily reflect the reform position—some are reform leaders, others are academic proponents of reform—alternative positions are represented as well.
