Abstract: | Hungary was often called the 'happiest barrack' of the Soviet bloc, thanks to the relative flexibility of the political regime and comparatively high standard of living. A series of cautious economic and political reforms introduced from the 1960s made the system less rigid than most of its Eastern European counterparts. Political life was relatively open and in the economy there was a space for private initiatives and contacts with non-socialist economies as well. The Hungarian transformation was a two-sided process. It was a fundamental systemic change, when the structures and values of the previous socio-economic system, based on the dominance of state ownership, centralized state control and full employment, were dismantled. |
