The world turned upside down. The revolutions in Hungary 1956 and 1989
The well-known historian analyses the nature of the political turns of 1956 and 1989 and concludes that there is a sharp controversion between their character.
Politics and/or society
The article discusses the role of policy in society in general and states that policy is present in the general public with a much greater weight than its actual role would hint despite the fact that the changes of society are more decisive than the changes in policy. The authors give a short analysis of the role of policy in history and try to determine what role policy would play in the shaping intellectual method of production.
