| Â | SOVIET UNION: "SORT OF SOCIALISM" AFTER PERESTROIKA |
| | Ivanov noted that if the Soviet Union were to join the fund, on the basis of its GNP it would have to be allotted a quota that would edge out U.K. and France out of the top five in the fund. | | | The soviet political economy, after Perestroika, wills neither be a centrally planned command economy nor a privatised market one, but "a sort of socialism", according to a leading soviet personality involved in Perestroika. | | | It would not be a completely unregulated market, but enterprises would be free to buy and sell and make free choice of clients, and the economy would be open to foreign competition through imports and joint ventures. |

| | Opponents of the constitution in France believe that the EU itself may be on the brink of turning into an Anglo-Saxon economy, and that this may prevent France from maintaining its social model. | | | Eventually, both France and Germany will accept the free-market economy in principle, perhaps not out of conviction but because of a lack of alternatives. | | | In the social market economy the market itself is subject to a high degree of institutional interference — through works councils, corporate supervisory boards in which shareholders and trade unions share power, labour legislation that protects employees in most legal disputes, and market rules that are far more restrictive than in most modern economies. |
