Breaking Promises. Hungarian Experience [Promisiuni încălcate. Experienţa ungară]

Abstract

My main aim is to present the phenomena related to fulfillment and breach of promises and the economic, political and ethical problems arising from these. I discuss questions that we all meet with in daily life and see mentioned in the press, other forums of public discourse, gatherings of friends, or sessions of Parliament. I am seeking what is common among these seemingly different cases.
