Seminar
Economies of Socialism after the Second World War
Alexandra Oberländer
Kommentar
In this reading-intensive seminar we will discuss new approaches towards Soviet and to some degree Estern European Socialist Economies. This is not a seminar about economic theories, but about economy as a lived experience. Therefore we will address how people living in the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1991 organized their survival, the well-being of their families and larger communities. We will tackle the question of „command“ vs. „planned“ economy and what this means for consumption, we will address some of the economic reforms, we will read about money as a precarious form of exchange in socialist societies, we will talk about export and environmental isssues, but most importantly we will read translations of Soviet newspapers articles and try to find angles for working with newspaper sources. The seminar focuses mostly on Soviet history with „reading excursions“ to Hungary and Poland (most probably). Perestroika and its economic reforms will not be part of the seminar. Schließen
