- Patron-client relations were a ubiquitous feature of cultural and academic life under the state socialist social order, as were networks crisscrossing the borderlines between the domains of political power and scholarship. Awareness of and due attention to such relations and networks, this article argues, is a sine qua non of any reliable history of economics in the communist era. Pioneering projects, publications presenting innovative new approaches, individual careers yielding significant works of domestic and international acclaim were as much dependent on the support and protection of the politically powerful as on genuine talent and diligence. State socialism was not the kind of social order that would typically enable a spectacular scholarly development just “by force of thought.” The article focuses on the story of one particularly important patron in Hungary over the field of economics, a true communist grand seigneur: István Friss. It shows how his contribution has been systematically neglected, suppressed by both the historical and the memoir literature, and it presents archival evidence highlighting the vital importance of Friss’s patronage for the work and careers of such leading economists as András Bródy and, particularly, János Kornai.

- The paper represents an effort to reconstruct the development of Montagu Norman's policies for the restoration of monetary and economic stability to postwar Central Europe. Starting out from what had been Norman's major concerns (the intrusion of Political rationality into the Financial and Economic domain, and Sterling's decline as an international currency), it identifies the strategic core in Norman's postwar reconstruction diplomacy as consisting in the objectives of establishing an International of Central Banks emancipated from under the guardianship of Politics, of securing Europe's funding from the New World, and of providing for the requirements of maintaining and strengthening Sterling's (the London Market's) international position. Related to these objectives, the development of various policies and techniques is followed through the Austrian, German, and Hungarian stabilizations.
