New Socialist Man
Hungary's programme of reform is 18 years old. The Communist Party under Janos Kadar has loosened the constraints of a command economy and blossoming private enterprise has made Budapest the most attractive capital in the Soviet empire. But is a 'socialist market economy' a sufficient cure for Hungary's underlying ills? Are elections offering choice between vetted candidates (though not between parties) an acceptable substitute for political pluralism? Or does the Party's insistence on its 'leading role' doom all efforts to reform
Communism as attempts - in Khrushchev's words - to fry snowballs?
