...UNREST IS also testimony to the difficulty of converting a welfare state, with cradle-to-grave protections for workers, to what Beijing's leaders call a "socialist market economy." China may boast one of the world's fastest-growing gross domestic products -- GDP shot up 13.4% in 1993 and at nearly a 13% annual rate in the first quarter of 1994 -- but at least for the short term, the process of converting to a market economy has cost China many more jobs than it has created.

...that life under Yeltsin has been particularly good for his newfound fans. Some in the Perovsky district cannot make ends meet on the salaries they earn at state-run hospitals or research institutes. Most are concerned that their life savings will be devoured by hyperinflation and do not know what to do with the fancy new vouchers the government gave them to help privatize the economy. But they were beginning to believe better times lay ahead. Now they fear that without Yeltsin as President, the suffering will start over again. Their consensus on the Congress: Throw the bums...
