1848 Revolution

The establishment of theNemzeti Casino(National Casino) in Pest helped establish civil society in nineteenth-century Hungary. Count István Széchenyi, hoping to modernize Hungary on the English model, established the casino in 1827 as a public forum for the Hungarian nobility. By transcending caste divisions between nobles and bourgeois elites, Széchenyi's casino served as an unofficial parliament and stock exchange, and generally helped cultivate Hungarian patriotism. The Pest Casino inspired a nation-wide trend for casinos, which in turn formed a civil society in opposition to Habsburg absolutism. Yet when the casino movement spread to Hungary's minority nationalities, Jews, Slovaks, Romanians, and particularly Croats, the casino also contributed to national divisions in Hungary's ethnically diverse population that affected the course of the 1848 Revolution.

The sugar plantation established rent-seeking in Trinidad and Tobago, drawing geopolitical rent from trade preferences, along with an ethnically diverse population living at a basic level of welfare. Colonial efforts to encourage investment to boost productivity and raise the income of a more compact workforce to UK levels coincided with democratization. This had the unintended consequence in Trinidad and Tobago of stimulating excessive rent-seeking, which eliminated plantation profitability in the 1960s. However, this chapter argues that the plantation is a more flexible development institution than both dependency theorists like Best and mainstream economists like Baldwin assume. In contrast to Trinidad and Tobago, Mauritius’s sugar plantations successfully reformed and prospered under developmental government policies running hard budget constraints.
