Az oligarchia és a demokrácia harca az átmeneti társadalmakban
Az önálló államiság kései elnyerésében testet öltő nemzeti újjászületés bűvöletében élő új köztársaságokban, így Közép-Európában Szlovákiában és Horvátországban, a Balkánon Szerbiában, Romániában és Bulgáriában, Kelet-Európában pedig mindenekelőtt Ukrajnában és Oroszországban hihetetlen sebességgel kialakult a nemzeti oligarchia. A bennfentes pozícióban lévő, vállalatvezetőből tulajdonossá emelkedő réteg azonnal megtalálta az utat a még állami pénzintézetek irányítói, a helyi önkormányzati vezetők és a mindenkori kormányok felé. A volt pénzügyminiszter, jelenleg a Közép- Európai Egyetem vezető alelnöke és professzora szerint az egymást követő demokratikus kormányok több-kevesebb sikerrel küzdenek a rettenetes kettős örökséggel, a kommunista rendszer és a zsákutcának bizonyult oligarchikus kísérlet együttes hagyatékával. A legfontosabb vívmány az, hogy a késve ugyan, de most már átfogóan végrehajtott liberalizáció megtörte az oligarchikus társadalmi és gazdasági szerkezetet.

Visegrad twins' diverging path to relative prosperity – Comparing the transition experience of the Czech Republic and Hungary
The author highlights the striking difference between the economic transition of the Czech Republic and Hungary. These two countries, roughly of the same size and same level of development, have traveled on markedly diverging paths toward relative prosperity. After the velvet revolution of 1989, the Czech Republic began to introduce a comprehensive and consistent package of macroeconomic stabilization coupled with voucher privatization. Hungary – not having experienced a revolution, rather a change of the ruling elite – was not ready to make substantial macroeconomic adjustment, but did implement a supply-side shock therapy toward corporate restructuring. The strategy of the. Czech government was widely regarded as successful, while the Hungarian one was considered as flamed. The situation had changed by the mid-1990s, however, when Hungary was forced to undertake comprehensive macro-financial stabilization, which, in turn, has paved the way for high-level, sustainable, and export-led growth since. The Czech Republic paid its Dries for postponing corporate restructuring, but there have been important reforms since 1997 directed at accelerating modernization in both the real and the financial sectors. The pattern of macro versus micro adjustment was, therefore, quite the opposite in the two countries.
