"If anyone had been placing bets back in 1989, trying to guess which Warsaw Pact state would emerge most rapidly and successfully from communism, most of the money would have been on Hungary. Thanks to a regime that began experimenting with economic liberalism in the 1980s, Hungary was known back then as 'the happiest barrack in the socialist camp.'”
