We still have a lot to learn

Abstract: In his review appearing in the fourth issue of the Public Finance Quarterly in 2006, György Szakolczai – remaining committed to his values – gave a comprehensive and meritoriously unbiased presentation of our book titled 'Double Bind' which was published in the spring. It is unusual in this country that someone pays so much attention to a scholarly paper which contains economic policy proposals, in the first place, but which is written in the style of a pamphlet. It is even more noteworthy that the editorial committee of a professional journal provides a forum to a debate unfolding in connection with a book review. Our book has tried to break the “ear-splitting silence” characterised by hesitancy to present the troubles caused by making people happy with taxpayers' money as well as the methods to eliminate them between 2000 and 2005. There is also an acute need for an exchange of views because – as György Szakolczai1 highlights it is another paper – “men of letters” like us have a part to play in the matter of alleviating troubles
