Socialist Consumption Revisited
This article analyses the political economy of consumption in Poland during the crisis of 1980–1 through economic-policy debates among Communist Party and Solidarity experts. It asks how conflicts over everyday economic needs shaped political confrontation and the decision to impose martial law. The central argument is that the crisis resulted not from a simple failure of socialist production but from the erosion of a paternalistic system of allo…
Modernization through Japanization? The Japanese system and state-socialist Poland’s economic reform
In 1971, Polish policymakers embarked on a quest to modernize the socialist economy. The paper explores the influence of the Japanese economic system on Polish press coverage and expert recommendations.

Centre explores two contemporary historical discourses - called «conciliatory» and «confrontational» - on the importance of the year 1980 and the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland. The first discourse puts emphasis on the ability to negotiate and points out the importance of 1980 for the genesis of the Round Table talks in 1989 and the following peaceful transition from communism to democracy, while the second one refers to the political …
