Pushed to the Edge? Entrepreneurs with Disabilities and the Post-socialist Experience of Ableism
通过29位匈牙利残疾企业家的叙事，研究后社会主义时代体能歧视如何通过四种机制（隐形、被动与福利依赖、残疾组织的合法性、经济参与限制）影响他们的生活与事业。
Abstract In this study, we examine the narratives of Hungarian entrepreneurs with disabilities (EWD) of the post-socialist era, using microhistory. Our research question concerns how ableism appears in the lives of EWD and how the aftermath of socialism emerges in their experience of ableism. We believe that a state-socialist past influences the lives and careers of EWD in a way that is unique in entrepreneurial and disability literature. Drawing on the accounts of 29 Hungarian entrepreneurs, we identified four mechanisms that make post-socialist ableism specific: invisibility; passivity and welfare dependency; the legitimacy of disability organisations; as well as the limitations of economic participation. Our research suggests that these effects, embedded in the current political, social, and economic environment, can only change slowly and over a long time.
