More than fiery

How did the Hungarian trade in building materials grow out of fires? What difficulties and opportunities arose during the change of regime? How could you start your own business from scratch? How did the deficit economy transform into a market economy in the field of building materials trade as well? Tamás Földi's report book explores the development history of a special segment of the Hungarian construction industry through the presentation of key players. 20 reports, 20 individual destinies, 20 personal success stories, while the age, the Hungarian economy and society before and after the change of regime are tangible behind this. From the perspective of thirty years, this is already contemporary history, which is not a list of dry facts, but an oral history, a narrated history. After all, history is nothing more than a collection of human stories - remembrance.
