Rezensionen

"The book provides a fresh and thought-provoking political-economic theory of the newly emerged autocracy in Hungary. ... I highly recommend reading this book, because The Retreat of Liberal Democracy offers a compelling theory of authoritarian capitalism in Hungary. This work will be an important reference for future debates on the recent trend of democratic backsliding in the world." (David Jancsics, American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 128 (1), July, 2022)

"A carefully crafted narrative that expertly highlights the interplay between domestic politics and the dynamics of dependent development in the context of the contemporary global economy. Although this book focuses specifically on the case of Hungary, Scheiring's account will be of general interest to scholars studying topics related to the recent surge in right-wing politics across the globe." (Adam Slez, Social Forces, August 9, 2021)
