In this important new historical study, Maria Kovacs examines the
struggle between liberal and anti-Semitic policies among
professional groups-doctors, lawyers, engineers-in Hungary from
1867 to 1945. Kovacs's main emphasis is on the interwar period when
unemployment, expansion of the welfare system, and competition for
state jobs during the Great Depression, combined with crass
anti-Semitism on the part of engineers and medical associations,
radically altered previously liberal policies of open entry and
equal educational opportunity. Liberal Professions and Illiberal
Politics analyses to what extent these new policies were dictated
by authoritarian governments from above and to what extent they
originated within the professions themselves. The story ends with
the Holocaust, which sealed the fate of those professionals who had
become victims of persecution under the German occupation of
Hungary.
