Abstract (may include machine translation)
A világgazdasági válság óta eltelt nyolc évtizedben Magyarországon számos rendszerváltozás ment végbe a gazdaságban és a politikában. Sokak szerint a szabadpiactól a szabadpiacig vezető kör bezárult, és ismét rendszerválság előtt állunk. Míg a jövő természetesen bizonytalanságokkal terhes, és így értelemszerűen nem kiszámítható, a múlt egyértelmű tanulsága az, hogy a közéletet végig formáló felzárkózási törekvés egészében sikertelennek bizonyult. Ennek alapja elemzésünk központi rejtélye egy régi fejlődéselméleti feladvány: miért van az, hogy Argentínához vagy újabban Olaszországhoz és Portugáliához hasonlóan a jó politika rossz eredményekkel jár(t), és fordítva? Miért szakadt el végletesen és történetileg is a gazdasági és a politikai ésszerűség egymástól?* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: B40, N01, P50.
In the eight decades since the global economic crisis, Hungary has undergone a series of economic and political regime changes. Many believe that the circle from free market to free market is closed and we are facing another systemic crisis. While the future is, of course, fraught with uncertainties and thus, by definition, unpredictable, the clear lesson of the past is that the catching-up effort that has shaped public life throughout has been unsuccessful as a whole. The central puzzle of our analysis is based on an old conundrum of development theory: why is it that, as in Argentina or more recently in Italy and Portugal, good policy leads to bad results, and vice versa? Why is there a finite and historical divergence between economic and political rationality?* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) code: B40, N01, P50.
