Economie corupție și politică În România lui Nicolae Ceaușescu

Cosmin Popa studies Romania’s state-planned economy under Nicolae Ceaușescu. He links its deep flaws to the regime’s goals. These goals served its rule and its hold on power. This history shows how plans for the economy tied in with rule by a dictator.

Popa shows how Ceaușescu’s orders shaped the economy. He traces how industry grew and at what cost. As the system grew weak, Ceaușescu forced sharp cuts in what people at home could use. The Securitate gained more control over industry. Popa also shows how the state set aside its duties to meet people’s needs.

The book looks beyond politics, ideology and culture alone. It links these themes to the costs of growth led by the state. It belongs to the Corint Istorie. Autori Romani series. The Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes and the Memory of the Romanian Exile helped bring it to print.
