China won the year 2023 and China will win the year 2024 as well - says economist Zoltán Pogátsa, associate professor of the University of Sopron, in our year-end conversation. According to Della's guest, successful countries in the Far East largely follow the same model: they are authoritarian, state-development regimes, the efficiency of which Viktor Orbán envied, but was unable to adapt. Instead, the Hungarian government moved towards a structure typical of Latin American countries. However, there are other areas of the world from which good practice could be collected: states that, like us, have been stuck in the trap of medium development for a long time, such as Ireland or Israel, were able to move up a notch by investing in human capital - education, healthcare. In our country, this is not part of the agenda, behind which, in addition to the lack of opportunity to acquire political capital and accumulate wealth, is the insufficiency of social pressure. Although, according to Zoltán Pogátsa, a successful turnaround could even bring a political advantage, we cannot expect progress in these areas until society demands it - that is, investing in human capital becomes a decisive aspect during elections. According to the economist, the Orbán government was able to demonstrate successes in the past 13 years (for example, in employment and wage policy) despite the fact that they did not actually govern well.
