This book analyzes the history of the black market in Poland before
the 1940s and the development of black-market phenomena in post-war
Poland. 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.
