This issue of Eszmélet mostly contains articles of economic theory and economic policy. The starting question is: is there any theory that can properly catch the essence of domestic and international transitions? Is bourgeois economic theory able to show solutions both in the East and West? An article on British football presents a model of economic developments in a specific area of life where market obviously should not enter or maybe only with restrictions. In futures issues, we will address questions of culture, natural environment and information economics from a similar angle.
