Article Abstract:
Vietnamese Pres Le Duc Anh blamed a recent drug corruption scandal on the evils of individualism. Although there are now about 19,000 private businesses, the state has actually increased its share of the economy from 33% in 1990, to 40% in 1997. This could hinder continued economic growth.
