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. 606 $aBlack market$zPoland$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aScarcity$zPoland$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPoland$xEconomic conditions$y1981-1990 607 $aPoland$xEconomic conditions$y1945-1981 607 $aPoland$xSocial conditions$y1945- 610 $a1944?1989 610 $aBlack 610 $aBlack market 610 $aDoor 610 $aHard currencies 610 $aIllegal economy 610 $aKochanowski 610 $aMarket 610 $aMeat 610 $aMoonshine 610 $aPoland 615 0$aBlack market$xHistory 615 0$aScarcity$xHistory 676 $a381 700 $aKochanowski$b Jerzy$0974088 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910485584703321 996 $aThrough the back door$92217406 997 $aUNINA
