From Where to Where? Reflections on Hungary's Social Revolution

Abstract

There is a revolution going on in Eastern Europe. That much is known for sure. Perhaps it can also be said that some form of capitalism is evolving in Eastern Europe. Everything else is uncertain. We do not even know exactly what kind of systems collapsed, let alone what are those being born. From socialism to capitalism? From what kind of socialism into what kind of capitalism? There is no doubt that the change in political regime in 1989/1990 was a milestone within a revolutionary process. But it was not its beginning and even less its end.
