This title contains eight essays that are connected by various
common strands. The most important one is the community of the main
subject-matter: socialism, capitalism, democracy, change of system.
These four expressions cover four phenomena of great and
comprehensive importance. Each piece in the book deals with these
and the connections between them. One of the Leitmotifs is the
'capitalism/socialism' pair of opposites. Capitalism has a history
of several hundred years, while the socialist regime existed only
for a few decades. But this pair of opposites was central to the
history of the twentieth century. This antagonism put its stamp on
political thinking, on the foreign policy and military preparedness
of every country, and on some appallingly destructive armed
conflicts.All these had great secondary influence on each country's
economic development and the standard of living and disposition of
its inhabitants. None of the studies is confined to one country -
not to Hungary or to any other. Each tries to embrace the problems
common to greater units. However, the greater unit comprehended is
not the same in each study. One may deal with the capitalist or
socialist system in general, another will all the post-socialist
countries, and a third the Central East European region. But all
extend the analysis beyond the borders of one country.
