E CO N O M Y ORBANOMICS A polarising answer to the crisis of liberal dependent capitalism Gabor Scheiring June 2020 Orban’s regime has a socio­economic logic that can only be understood in the context of economic globalisation. Orbanomics is an answer to the crisis of the post-1990 liberal dependent economic model. It aims to boost the creation of wealth and capital accumulation targeting the up­per middle class, national capi­tal and transnational corpora­tions in the export sectors. However, Orbanomics failed to improve the productivity of domestic businesses and un­dermined long-term develop­ment potentials. It is a polaris­ing socio-economic strategy, requiring authoritarian fixes to stabilise power.
