Gegesy Ferenc - Kádártól Orbánig

"Today's Hungarian society is (also) completely divided on an ideological basis. The two opposing camps are both convinced that everything good comes from them, and everything bad comes from the other. Orbán versus Gyurcsány, we could simplify even further. From time to time, a no less a summary third explanation, the people, who carry in their genes the love of freedom, or the serf behavior inherited from feudalism.

Confronting and confronting the past is essential for every nation, so a more thorough economic and political examination of what has happened in Hungary in the past fifty years cannot be avoided. How did it go from being the "most cheerful barracks" in Eastern Europe to becoming one of the region's army drivers?
Is it enough to focus on a few prominent people to understand our recent past? What series of factors and steps led to this? What do the data series and indicators reveal? And what is even more important: after outlining the connections and successions, is it possible to draw conclusions that would help to recover from the current situation? This book tries to give a possible answer to this almost impossible task - using my personal experiences and my knowledge of economics." (Ferenc Gegesy)
