Economic Reform and Political Change in Eastern Europe [PDF ebook] 
A Comparison of the Czechoslovak and Hungarian Experiences

Economic reform — the introduction of elements of the market into a planned economy — has been the central political problem for socialist states for at least three decades. This book seeks to elucidate the nature of the problem through a reconsideration of the general theoretical issues, and through a comparative analysis of the practice of economic reform in two countries — Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
