Chapter 12 in Hungary since Communism, 1997, pp 149-153 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract ‘Improving balance, declining financial situation’: this was the title under which the Hungarian Central Statistical Office published its report on the year 1995 in the largest domestic daily (Népszabadság, 29 February 1996, p.5). The first part of the title — improving balance — refers to the financial situation of the country, the second one — declining financial situation — to that of the citizens. In the first chapter of this book we have already mentioned that Hungary has become a place full of contradictions since the start of the transition: positive and negative processes are going on in parallel, there is development and decline, new values are coming up and old ones are disappearing; the world looks different when viewed from on top of the bridge and then from underneath.
