 Socialist Technically Oriented Production Systems: the Case of Hungarian AgricultureAladár Sipos
Chapter 11 in The Balance between Industry and Agriculture in Economic Development, 1989, pp 197-210 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract Between the two world wars Hungary was one of the most backward countries in Europe, both in regard to its economic development and to its social structure. Per capita national income in 1937 was a mere 60 per cent of the European average. Even in 1945 Hungarian agriculture had many feudal traits. Inequalities in land tenure were the rule. At the end of the 1930s 68.7 per cent of farms had an area of less than three hectares and they accounted for only 9 per cent of all the arable land. At the same time, 0.1 per cent of farms were large holdings with more than 600 hectares each and accounted for 26 per cent of the arable land. The war was not yet over when, in December 1944, in the liberated part of the country, the Provisional National Government was formed, and its first programme, which included land reform, was publicly decreed in March 1945.
