This policy-successful at the outset-in the long-term proved to be detrimental for the regimes because it shifted working class political consciousness to the right while it effectively excluded leftist alternatives from the public sphere. This book argues that this policy can provide the key to understanding of the collapse of the regimes. It examines the case studies of two large factories, Carl Zeiss Jena (East Germany) and Rába in Gy?r (Hungary), and demonstrates how the study of the formation of the relationship between the workers' state and the industrial working class can offer illuminating insights into the important issue of the legitimacy (and its eventual loss) of Communist regimes. 410 $aInternational Studies in Social History 606 $aHistory / Modern / 20th Century$2bisacsh 606 $aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-communism & Socialism$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Economic History$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 615 7$aHistory / Modern / 20th Century 615 7$aPolitical Science / Political Ideologies / Communism, Post-communism & Socialism 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Economic History 615 0$aEconomics 676 $a331.0943/109049 700 $aBartha$b Eszter$01092475 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996588064303316 996 $aAlienating labour$92611155 997 $aUNISA
