| Summary: | The Hungarian industrial revolution started in the second half of the 19th century, which caused the
revaluation of the geographical peripheries in Hungary. After the Trianon Treaty the rural areas of Hungary
lost their foreign markets and became the "country of three million beggars". The socialist industrialization
of the systems of Rákosi and Kádár absorbed the surplus of rural labour, but the industrialization
meant the redistributive exploitation of the agricultural areas and the further impoverishment. After
the political transition in 1989, the rural Hungary could not be the "pantry of the Council for Mutual
Economic Assistance", and the final crisis of the Hungarian agricultural sales finalized the deformation
of the three-quarters of Hungary, the major part of the rural areas in Hungary. In the recent decades the
brain drain worked in the Hungarian peripheries, the disinvestment and the pauperization increased.
The emerging of the new latifundia and the monoculture commodity production operate independently,
separated from the Hungarian rural people in the sense of ownerships and production. As the result of
these negative processes, significant part of the society in the peripheral areas declassed. In this hopeless
situation awareness only a conscious regional policy and above all, a very well-considered education is
only able to offer a chance for break. |
