Wiedeń nie może być jak Chicago. Neoliberalizm i rządy Wolfganga Schussela w Austrii w latach 2000–2006

This article focuses on the impact of liberal ideas on Austrian politics. Particular attention is devoted to the conservative-liberal coalition lead by Chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel, who ruled in 2000-2006. The author presents the sources of the Austrian Chancellor’s ideological inspirations and confronts the ideas declared by him and his coalition with reality. Schüssel’s rule is described from a broader perspective in order to answer the question of whether the time of the neoliberal “breakthrough” was indeed a breakthrough, and how much of that has been left in Austrian politics?
