Beyond coping strategies: motivation for food self-provisioning and sharing in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Informal economies, including sharing and food self-provisioning (FSP), have become a subject of extensive interdisciplinary discussion. The marginalisation theory has established itself as the most common interpretation for continuing viability of non-capitalist forms of production and exchange despite the attempts of market economy to commodify all spheres of human life. According to the marginalization theory, the informal economic relations are the expression of coping strategies of poor and marginalised groups, or alternatively the ways how these groups domesticate changes brought by neoliberalism. Validity of this theory for explanation of widespread FSP and sharing among Czech households has been examined in the study. The Czech Republic provides a particularly good setting for studies of informal economy: it has undergone rapid economic changes in the past quarter of a century yet at the same time the non-market relations have remained widespread.
