Self-sufficiency of the house is practiced in many parts of the
world but ignored in economic theory, just as socialist
collectivization is assumed to have brought household
self-sufficiency to an end. The ideals of self-sufficiency,
however, continue to shape economic activity in a wide range of
postsocialist settings. This volume's six comparative studies of
postsocialist villages in Eastern Europe and Asia illuminate the
enduring importance of the house economy, which is based not on the
market but on the order of the house. These formations show that
economies depend not only on the macro institutions of markets and
states but also on the micro institutions of families, communities,
and house economies, often in an uneasy relationship.
