In line with the conference's objective of providing historically grounded analysis of the concept of 'primitive accumulation', this paper explores the outcomes of the construction of a Soviet-style socialist economy in Hungary in the period between 1948 and 1956 focusing on women's social and political conditions. Drawing on the work of Marxist an...

This chapter examines the methods by which neoliberal ideas and practices were consolidated in Hungary between 1990 and 2006, as well as the variegated impact of neoliberal restructuring on society. Challenging accounts of neoliberal transformation as a relatively harmonious process, the chapter argues for a more critical understanding of this proc...

This chapter challenges exogenous accounts of the neoliberal transformation in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the former USSR by analysing the gradual ascendancy of ‘proto-neoliberalism’ in Hungary before the regime change in 1989–90. Through a case study of the influential Financial Research Institute (Pénzügykutatási Intézet, FRI), the offi...

This chapter analyses the seemingly contradictory fusion between authoritarian state practices and neoliberal economic policies in Hungary under the Orbán regime. Since returning to power in 2010 on a popular backlash against austerity, the hard-right Fidesz-Kereszténydemokrata Néppárt (Fidesz-KDNP) government, led by the charismatic and dexterous...

This chapter offers a critical overview of how the ‘double transformation’ in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has been theorised in the academic literature. In particular, it looks at how dominant theoretical approaches—neoliberal and institutionalist—have accounted for (a) the origins of the shift towards (free) market economies and parliamentary...

This chapter analyses the impact of the 2008 global economic crisis on Hungary and other Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) economies. It shows how the global economic crisis hit the region hard, contributing to widespread public anger and disillusionment over the central tenets of neoliberal transformation in the region: free market capitalism, libe...

This book explores the political economy of Hungary from the mid-1970s to the present. Widely considered a ‘poster boy’ of neoliberal transformation in post-communist Eastern Europe until the mid-2000s, Hungary has in recent years developed into a model ‘illiberal’ regime. Constitutional checks-and-balances are non-functioning; the independent medi...

This article introduces readers to the special issue on ‘authoritarian neoliberalism’. It charts the origins of the concept and summarizes the central arguments of the individual contributions to the special issue.

This paper analyses the seemingly contradictory fusion between authoritarianism and neoliberalism in Hungary under the Orbán regime. Since coming into power in 2010 on a popular backlash against austerity, the hard-right Fidesz–KDNP government, led by Viktor Orbán, has carried out a root-and-branch transformation of Hungarian society. While officia...

La Revolución Rusa tuvo un inmediato impacto mundial, tanto por el ejemplo que supuso para procesos revolucionarios o de intensa movilización social desatados en el período subsiguiente en varios países de Europa (Finlandia, Alemania, Austria, Hungría, Italia, etc.) como por los grandes debates que suscitó en el socialismo internacional, ya que fue...

Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks is a remarkable work, not only because it was written in jail as the Italian Marxist thinker fell victim to political oppression in his home country, but also because it shows his impressive analytical ability. First published in 1948, 11 years after Gramsci's death, Prison Notebooks ably demonstrates that the wri...

This article contributes to ongoing debates in the transformatology literature, as well as the wider literature on the global neoliberal revolution, on the origins of neoliberalism in Soviet-style economies. Within these debates, the transition to a (free) market economy and liberal democracy in Hungary and elsewhere in the former Soviet bloc has c...
