Hungary, which many mainland Chinese economists cite as a model for their experiments, boasts a per capita income of US $ 4,500, but growth has tailed off sharply from the 8 % rate of the fifties to 2.5 % in 1981.
目前匈牙利的國民所得約四千五百美元，超過許多開發中國家。但根據聯合國發佈的資料，它在一九五○年代物資淨產值的成長率超過百分之八；六○年代約為百分之六；但到了七○年代末期就降至百分之三點二；一九八一年更降到百分之二點五，有每下愈況之勢。
