Hungarian Model Markets and Planning in a Socialist Economy

This book provides an exceptionally thorough treatment of the Hungarian economy and its experience of economic reform. Within a wider discussion of the appliance and success of Soviet-type economies (STEs), the author investigates the decentralising measures and market mechanisms which have been progressively introduced and considers the limits on and limitations of the Hungarian economic model.
