Produktbeschreibung

The economic transformation of Hungary has reached a critical stage. Hungary has succeeded in attracting foreign captial, and has achieved its first current account surplus in convertible currency since 1984, despite recent upheavals, but the privatization process has reached a crucial stage. It is clear that it will be a lengthy and difficult process, with significant repercussions for the future of the economy and profound social and welfare consequences. This book presents some of the local arguments and perceptions informing the current debate, and critical examination of these ideas from an international panel of scholars. The chapters address privatization; financial, tax and legal systems; integration into the international financial and monetary systems; labour markets, unemployment and the social safety net; and the political economy of the current economic transformation.
