As with the Soviet experience, it pursued a policy of “primitive socialist accumulation” whereby the state appropriated agricultural surplus and restricted workers’ consumption in support of industrial growth. Focusing on the daily operations of planning in the ethnically mixed city of Cluj from 1945 to 1955, this book argues that socialist accumulation was deeply contradictory: it not only inherited some of the classical tensions of capital accumulation, but also generated its own, which derived from the multivocal nature of the state socialist worker as a creator of value, as living labour, and as a subject of emancipatory politics.International studies in social history ;Volume 32.SocialismRomaniaCluj-NapocaHistory20th centuryGovernment ownershipRomaniaCluj-NapocaHistory20th centuryCentral planningRomaniaHistory20th centuryWorking classRomaniaCluj-NapocaHistory20th centuryRomaniaEconomic policy1945-1989Cluj-Napoca (Romania)Economic conditions20th centuryCluj-Napoca (Romania)Social conditions20th centuryRomania, Socialist Transformation, Socialist Industrialization, Socialist Accumulation, Cluj.SocialismHistoryGovernment ownershipHistoryCentral planningHistoryWorking classHistory331.109498/4Cucu Alina-Sandra1626739MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822556603321Planning labour3962952UNINA
