Abstract

The author presents the results of her recent study on the history of social policy in Hungary with the purpose of encouraging comparative studies. The paper addresses legal issues of the early Hungarian state as well as social care activities of the church. Both the legal system of the state and the church system were rooted in the traditions of previous tribal-clanship society. According to the author, our present-day social values are a direct legacy of our ancestors.
