Parasztok és mezőgazdasági vállalkozók. Piacozási gyakorlatok egy szatmári faluban = Peasants and Agricultural Entrepreneurs. Market Practices in a Village from Satu Mare County

Abstract

The present paper aims to offer an image of the present conditions of the economic structure of a village from Satu Mare region through the analysis of the economic strategies and social attitudes of three families, which are into selling their own products on the markets of the city. The system change was twenty-five years ago, and however long this period of transition was, we probably cannot understand anymore the processes of the rural economy of today if we continue to analyze these from the perspective of socialist–capitalist transition. In the case of the settlement in question this would be a completely wrong starting point, because – and this would be the major conclusion of the fieldwork – today we have only those actors of local agriculture, who have chosen this commitment deliberately and by their own will
