The Unbearable Rightness of Sharing: Informal Economic Practices in Post-socialist Central Europe
Original language description
In the last quarter-century European post-socialist societies have experienced some of the most profound instances of economic neoliberalisation and globalisation. While in practical terms the processes of liberalisation, marketisation and privatisation were initially externally driven by international institutions, domestically the market also enjoyed an elavated symbolic status as part of the introduction of a package of ‘civilising mechanisms‘ which were destroyed under socialism (Holy 1996). This macro-economic restructuring occurred against the background of a set of widespread, yet ‘hidden‘ non-market economic practices at the micro-level such as sharing, caring and mutual help. Thus, despite some diminishment of the extent of informal relationships in the last two decades, in some areas (household food provisioning, house maintenance and construction) these societies have developed hybrid economies in which vibrant informal economic practices intersect with market-based relatonships.
