A „RUN LIKE A BUSINESS”-JELSZÓ IDEOLÓGIAKRITIKÁJA
THE IDEOLOGICAL CRITICISM OF THE SLOGAN OF “RUN LIKE A BUSINESS”

Summary/Abstract: The paper criticizes the ”Run like a business” ideology that prefers market to government, private company to public institutions. The study sums up the main arguments of this ideology based mostly on an overly simplyfied version of neoclassical economics and attempts to provide a structured inventory of counter arguments. Counter arguments first attack the myth of the general superiority of the market and the firm. Secondly, it is argued that government is different. Thus, even if market and firm were superior, mechanisms inherent in them still cannot be applied in most parts of government business.
