Communist Planning versus Rationality
This volume examines concepts of central planning, a cornerstone of political economy in Soviet-type societies. It revolves around the theory of “optimal planning” which promised a profound modernization of Stalinist-style verbal planning. Encouraged by cybernetic dreams in the 1950s and supporting the strategic goals of communist leaders in the Cold War, optimal planners offered the ruling elites a panacea for the recurrent crises of the planned economy. Simultaneously, their planning projects conveyed the pride of rational management and scientific superiority over the West. The authors trace the rise and fall of the research program in the communist era in eight countries of Eastern E...
Brave New Hungary
Brave New Hungaryfocuses on the rise of a “brave new” anti-liberal regime led by Viktor Orbán who made a decisive contribution to the transformation of a poorly managed liberal democracy to a well-organized authoritarian rule bordering on autocracy during the past decade. Emerging capitalism in post-1989 Hungary that once took pride in winning the Eastern European race for catching up with the West has evolved into a reclusive, statist, national-populist system reminding the observers of its communist and pre-communist predecessors. Going beyond the self-description of the Orbán regime that emphasizes its Christian-conservative and illiberal nature, the authors, leading experts of Hung...
A szabadság melankóliája
Mi történt egykor a monori ellenzéki találkozón? Hogyan íródott a Fordulat és reform? Mi történt Lakiteleken? És mi zajlott a Pártszékházban a Kádár-kor alkonyán, a pártkizárás idején? A politikai publicisztika kivételes hatású alakja, Lengyel László a rendszerváltást megelőző évtized történéseit tekinti át új kötetében. A szabadság melankóliája a reformellenzék kibontakozásának, a hatalomhoz és a szamizdat-ellenzékhez való viszonyának krónikája, egyben a szerző, a hajdani közvetítő mai, személyes számvetése. Az olvasó mindeközben plasztikus portrékat kap a korabeli politikai főszereplők – Pozsgay Imre, Grósz Károly, Nyers Rez...
Populating No Man’s Land
This edited volume opening the new series Revisiting Communism: Collectivist Economic Thought in Historical Perspective focuses on the concepts of ownership, the cornerstone of political economy in Soviet-type societies. The authors’ main objective is to contribute to the still unwritten chapter on collectivism in the history books of modern economic thought. They trace the lengthy evolution of economic ideas of property reform under communism leading from the doctrine of blanket nationalization to projects of moderate privatization in eight countries of Eastern Europe and China. The comparative analysis sheds light upon the tireless attempts of reform-minded economists in communist countr...
