So sánh các chủ nghĩa xã hội thị trường: Những điều gợi mở từ kinh nghiệm của Hungari đối với Việt Nam đương đại

Tóm tắt

This article probes possible parallels between the Vietnamese experience of economic reform since the 1980s and the Hungarian experience of “market socialism” in the decades before the collapse of that system. After 1968, reforms of central planning rendered the Hungarian economy more successful than others in the Soviet bloc, especially from the angle of consumption. Nonetheless, critics alleged that this mix bred many negative features and argued that only fully capitalist markets could solve underlying problems. This article analyses the issues with reference to the categories of Karl Polanyi, the founder of the substantivist school in economic anthropology and a native of Hungary.
