What are economic chambers and chambers of liberal professions? What specific fields and professions do they cover in Hungary? Where did they come from, how have they developed and how have they changed over the last two hundred years? The volume seeks answers to these and many other questions.
The aim of the book is to give a comprehensive picture of the past, the development, the present structure, the activities and the current problems of the Hungarian chamber system. It also tries to present the systemic changes taking place in chambers and the reasons behind them as a central idea. This volume proves that the changes throughout the history of the Hungarian chambers have mostly been driven not by stakeholders and internal motivations but rather by external pressures. In doing so, the book also provides an insight into changes in the political systems of each historical period in Hungary in the last 150 years.
