    Abstract

    In the 1960s favorable economic changes brought a noticeable rise in living standards that increasingly enabled household savings in Hungary, while at the same time, social groups were treated as enemies by party-state dictatorship, such as members of churches, who did not perceive any of the positive economic effects. This undeserving, vulnerable financial situation sometimes forced them to use coercive solutions. The study shows - through the fate of a Catholic priest- how the use of the legal economic opportunities provided by the system could be used against members of these groups.
