Hungary's New Economic Mechanism aimed at market guided reform
A 1960s reformers’ plan in Hungary sought to replace central planning with market signals. Janos Kadar backed economists Rezso Nyers and Jozsef Bognar as they designed a system reducing state subsidies and shifting decision making to enterprises while the government set macro goals for GNP, prices, incomes, and foreign trade.

Household plots fuel Hungary's economic reform backlash
Hungary's 1.5 acre household plots subsidized by the state produce 30 percent of national farm output. The reforms aim to curb unemployment and overmanning, but provoke worker insecurity and anger at private wealth, amid a new five year plan stressing stabilisation, export gains, and reduced domestic investment. The timing is influenced by oil prices, Poland unrest, and Western protectionism concerns.

Allan Lawrence seeks secret files on Liberal digs in 1979 Ottawa
The piece argues Liberal dominance hinges on partisan ethics as Allan Lawrence, then solicitor general, kept secret documents from his tenure. It recalls Pearson in 1964 wheeling through cabinet files to expose the Gerda Munsinger affair and questions conduct under Trudeau and Clark. It frames digging for dirt as politics.
