Janos Kornai The collapse of the socialist system in eastern Europe
and the Soviet Union is one of the major events of this century,
perhaps the most important of all. The transformation now taking
place is without any precedent in history. The original development
of capitalism was a process that lasted for centuries. The almost
total liquidation of capitalism in the countries ruled by communist
parties took place-in historical terms-in a very short period of
time, but it was carried out by force and repressive methods. The
transformation which has now begun is diverting these countries
back onto the path of capitalist development and the hope is that
the process will take place much faster than the original emergence
of capitalism. And another hope can be expressed: that the
governments of these countries will not resort during the process
to the arsenal of political violence and repression in order to
speed it up. Although the post -socialist transformation is a
historically unique phenomenon, some components and features of it
show a similarity with other processes or events that took place
under other circumstances. Other empires before the Soviet empire
collapsed. The political structures of other countries took the
path from dictatorship to democracy. Under other conditions, state
assets have been privatized, inflation has been curbed, foreign
capital has flowed in, new oligopolies have formed, and so on. The
uniqueness lies in the new, specific configuration of these
component processes and may other phenomena.
