Makes the case that the double transformation in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) needs to be understood in relation to the wider restructuring of the capitalist world economy from the early 1970s onwards

Demonstrates how 'proto-neoliberal' ideas and practices emerged in Hungary in the late 1970s and early 1980s, as a response by domestic elites to the deepening crisis of Soviet-style state capitalism

Claims that the Orbán regime represents a model state of 'authoritarian-ethnicist neoliberalism', which is becoming increasingly popular not only in Europe and the US, but also elsewhere in the world
