was impossible to understand that the people’s ownership has primarily a
social character, not a capitalist one. That generated a tendency of destroying
the competition of the local economy, at different levels of government, in
order to centralize the means of production. The creators of the five-year plan
called that process a conditional nationalism because there was no reaction
that would give these phenomena a bourgeois-nationalist direction.”
CONCLUSION
In the first phase of modernization, we can follow a consolidation of
landowners and liberated peasants, who, in different ways, adapted to the
new situation, especially freedom, but also a state intervention that, through
various taxes, forced farmers to turn goods into money. Demographic growth
and insufficient resources for investment as well as exclusivity in the process
of implementation of agrarian reform after the First World War was the cause
of hostility between nations. Distribution had nothing to do with the quality
of tillage, and the primary sector of the national economy became a category
of social welfare. The colonial-capitalist sector of the national economy was
included in the system of corruption, and therefore this sector of the economy
became unpliable for the development of maximum capacity. The attempt to
change the social structure of the population after the Second World War gave
more significant results. The number of employees in agriculture, as well as
demographic growth were reduced. From the the mid-60s of the last century
the economic emigration to the countries of Western Europe grew. The
planned economy connected the sectors of production in a national economy
using the logic of education, opening workplaces, and providing social and
health care. Modernization without the pluralism of political life formed
society via propaganda, which led to a long-term decline of civil society,
general widespread corruption, and the strengthening of ethno-nationalism
as a traditional system of identification of subjects.
