La Pologne : de la socialisation indirecte de l'agriculture à la reprise de la socialisation directe

The difficulties met by the People's RepubVc of Poland during its first attempt at the direct, large-scale socialization of peasant farming during the 1950's led to an original policy of intensification and of flexible relationships between farm'ng and the socialized sector of the economy in the 1960's. This policy attempts an indirect and partial socialization of individual farms. In the 70's, the disadvantages and contradictions of this main method (greater need for productivity of labour, dangers of dislocation of family farming) made a return to direct socialization necessary, in very varied and progressive forms, but combined with the former method and integrated in an overall restructuration of this activity on the level of the « commune », the future socialist basic unit in country districts.
