No. 20 | (Winter 1993)

Compared to what we have promised earlier, due to the excessive feed of articles, we have changed the content of this issue of Eszmélet a bit. Articles on social policy (completed with additional ones) will be published in the next issue; thus giving more room to the present main topic namely questions of social democracy. Most of the articles analyses this substantial theoretical and practical current in the past, present and future. Above this, a long article continues the analysis of the Kádár-era of which examination started in the latest issue. Further topics in history, self-government and economy are also addressed.

Debt cycles of Hungary and the worls economy after 1945

The Austrian author of the article analyses the nature of the emergence of the debt system after the Second World War. She pinpoints how the debt dependence developed in accordance with the interests of the capi­talist centres and which was the point when it turned into a debt trap as soon as those interests required that. In an indirect way, the article ques­tions the well known, even fashionable allegation that the indebtedness which developed during the Kadar era is a "crime of the communist regime against the nation".

Towards the top – Comments to a first published speech of Kadar

The historian briefly characterises the foreign and domestic policy of those years of the Kadar regime in which a speech by János Kádár, car­ried as a document, was delivered. The speech is published for the first time now, in our paper and according to the editors' views ft can be a contribution to the better understanding of the "main actor" and the oper­ation of the whole Kadar era.

“…Carthaginem esse delendam”?

The author protests against the destruction of agriculture. He quotes figures and data to show that agriculture was a strong branch of the econ­omy in the past few decades and that no one was thankful for that. He argues that in the history of the past decades of Hungarian agriculture political viewpoints prevailed over the economic ones, and one injustice was attempted to be "remedied" with another. This has remained the case since the change of system.
