This exceptionally thorough treatment of the Hungarian economy and its experience of economic reform over the past twenty years investigates the decentralizing measures and market mechanisms that have been progressively introduced. Within a wider discussion of the appliance and success of Soviet type economics (STES), the author considers the limitations on and limitations of the present Hungarian economic model. This timely English version of Xavier Richet's French original provides much insight into what has gone wrong in Hungary and suggests ways future pitfalls might be avoided.

<p>This work presents twelve case studies of foreign direct investment in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia. The studies include major firms such as Skoda and Danone, as well as smaller ventures, and cover the same sectors for each country, thereby permitting useful comparisons and assessments of: the role of country, sector, technology, and firm-specific characteristics in determining the pattern and nature of foreign direct investment; the potential implications of FDI for the competitiveness of the investing firms; the impact of infusions of capital investments, technology, and managerial resources for the host economies; and the policy implications for host countries and relevant international institutions.</p>

<p>Le fantastique est l'un des genres littéraires qui ne cesse de susciter l'intérêt de la critique. Il a lui-même fécondé la modernité littéraire, depuis la science-fiction jusqu'à la littérature d'horreur. Certains théoriciens du fantastique ont estimé qu'au XXème siècle, ce genre perdrait sa raison d'être, sous l'influence de la psychanalyse, ou à cause de la disparition des tabous sociaux et moraux. Pourtant, ce ne fût pas le cas, bien que le fantastique conventionnel semble souvent s'éloigner de ses formes traditionnelles.</p>
