This book was released on 2003 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hungary decided to change its system from a command to a market economy, it was persuaded by friendly governments and international organizations, including the International Monetary Fund, that this could be best done under the guidance of the IMF, assisted by the World Bank. Inexperienced and trusting governments believed this and did as they were told. As a consequence, monetarism and neo-liberalism, by virtue of the Washington Consensus, were brought to Hungary and became the ruling ideologies of this transition economy that was totally unsuited to them.The consequences were disastrous. A difficult economic situation was transformed into a crisis situation: unprecedented depression with 18.2% decline of gdp; the loss of 3 years of output and 1.5 million jobs; 24% decline in real incomes, 31% decline in the purchasing power of pensions; the pauperization of a large segment of the population; deterioration of external competitive position; emergence of a large public debt; and d

(VIII) Is the USSR really a special case and, if so, in what respects and for what fundamental reasons? (IX) How long in the transition period may the initial phase of disorder, chaos and decline last? (X) What can be learned from the experiences gathered so far in the major ex-communist countries?

Successful means if the country is able to catch up with economical leading countries. ‘What matters is the whole package of policies, financial and technical assistance and dept relief if necessary.’(1) [...] _____ 1 cf. “Globalization: Threat or Opportunity?”, http://www.imf.org/external/np/exr/ib/2000/041200.htm; International Monetary Fund Issued Brief; Washington 2000; p. 7f
Download or read book Money Incentives and Efficiency in the Hungarian Economic Reform written by Joseph C. Brada and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume document the serious shortcomings of the Hungarian economic reform, which in two decades has brought deteriorating economic performance, declining real wages, a fiscal deficit and severe inflationary pressures. It has proved unexpectedly difficult to substitute a regulated market economy for a centrally planned one. The authors of these essays argue that the problems stem from the incompleteness of the reforms and their compromise character. Today, as the Hungarians prepare to implement more radical measures, constraining the Communist party and rolling back state ownership, they do so under economically difficult conditions.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Hungary written by Adam Fabry and published by Palgrave Pivot. This book was released on 2019-04-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the political economy of Hungary from the mid-1970s to the present. Widely considered a ‘poster boy’ of neoliberal transformation in post-communist Eastern Europe until the mid-2000s, Hungary has in recent years developed into a model ‘illiberal’ regime. Constitutional checks-and-balances are non-functioning; the independent media, trade unions, and civil society groups are constantly attacked by the authorities; there is widespread intolerance against minorities and refugees; and the governing FIDESZ party, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, controls all public institutions and increasingly large parts of the country’s economy. To make sense of the politico-economical roller coaster that Hungary has experienced in the last four decades, Fabry employs a Marxian political economy approach, emphasising competitive accumulation, class struggle (both between capital and labour, as well as different ‘fractions of capital’), and uneven and combined development. The author analyses the neoliberal transformation of the Hungarian political economy and argues that the drift to authoritarianism under the Orbán regime cannot be explained as a case of Hungarian exceptionalism, but rather represents an outcome of the inherent contradictions of the variety of neoliberalism that emerged in Hungary after 1989.
