The Road to a Free Economy
János Kornai needs no introduction to our readers. He is an intellectual force to be reckoned with in the service of liberty. The following pages are an extract from his memoirs specifically selected from a time of great change in Hungary, to which he, working as a non-political man of science, brought a significant contribution. To his credit, he does not shy away from discussing his failures or from admitting the uncertainties regarding his true impact on historical proceedings. This thoughtfulness is found throughout the entire book. More
