Agriculture and the domestication of industry in rural Bulgaria

The capitalist model underlying most analyses of agro-industrial interaction leads to an assumption of industrial determinism whereby the requirements of industry set the parameters for agricultural adaptations. Examining the interaction under east European socialism challenges this premise. In Bulgaria the complete integration of the local socialist economy worked together with a continuing cultural equation between village and agriculture to "domesticate" industry: that is, the system forced industry to accommodate the needs and requirements of agriculture. This interpretation sheds light on the difficulties faced by postsocialist economies and also challenges our assumption of industrial primacy under capitalism, where subsistence agriculture and part-time farming continue to be significant forces in the political economy.
