Description

By examining how individuals shopped, ate, drank, and acquired goods, this book provides a deep understanding of the lived experience under communist regimes. Written by a diverse group of American and European scholars, the text uses various disciplinary perspectives to analyze how goods were exchanged and assessed. It moves beyond traditional political history to look at the ways consumption shaped everyday life across different contexts in the region. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the economic and social history of Eastern Europe during the Cold War era.
