The author evaluates the interrelation between black-market phenomena and historical and geographical conditions. At first, the black market stabilized the system by making it more flexible and creating a margin of freedom, albeit in the short term. In the long run, the informal economic activities of the people ran counter to and undermined the official ideology of the state. The author concludes that in post-war Poland, owing to a singular coincidence of historical, political, economic and social factors, the second economy had its own unique character and an endemic presence that loomed large in the Soviet Bloc.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Weight: 660gAuthor: Jerzy KochanowskiGenre: HistoryBook Series: Studies in Contemporary HistoryContributor: Dariusz Stola (Series edited by)Release Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
