AbstractThere is a sharp contradiction between the economic performance of the Hungarian government of Victor Orbán and the institutional framework (toolkit) by which the seemingly stellar performance of the Hungarian economy has been achieved. It looks like as if the economic playground of the government (disciplined fiscal policy, unorthodox monetary policy and contradictory institutional system) and political-institutional order built by the same government during the last ten years, represent two different worlds. This paper provides a possible explanation to resolve this contradiction by identifying reversed relationship between tools and goals of economic policies. The genuine, hidden but most important goal of the present Hungarian government is to make Orbán and his political family wealthy and make their enrichment legitimate. In disguise of a public policy to achieve this (private, personal) goal, this government needs absolute and uncontrolled power certified by the scenery of the parliamentarian democracy. This private effort should be falsified, which could be achieved if his government pretends that it wants to pursue a disciplined economic policy.

超越第一眼（1998年匈牙利经济政策分析-）

摘要 匈牙利维克托·欧尔班政府的经济表现与匈牙利经济看似出色的制度框架（工具包）之间存在尖锐的矛盾。政府的经济游乐场（有纪律的财政政策、非正统的货币政策和矛盾的制度体系）和同一个政府在过去十年中建立的政治制度秩序似乎代表了两个不同的世界。本文通过识别经济政策工具和目标之间的反向关系，为解决这一矛盾提供了一种可能的解释。现任匈牙利政府真正的、隐藏的但最重要的目标是让欧尔班和他的政治家族变得富有，并使他们的财富合法化。为了实现这个（私人的、个人的）目标，这个政府伪装成公共政策，需要议会民主制度证明的绝对和不受控制的权力。这种私人努力应该是伪造的，如果他的政府假装要奉行有纪律的经济政策，就可以做到这一点。
