OCIETY AND ECONOMY – MEANS OF MODERNIZING THE COUNTRY IN THE COMMUNIST PERIOD IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: The end of the Second World War surprises Romania in an extremely ungrateful position, with significant territorial losses, as well as human losses. This whole situation affects the post-war context, Romania being treated as a defeated country in the post-war peace negotiations. With the establishment of the new political regime, significant changes are taking place in Romanian society both politically and economically and socially. In communist Romania, the economy and industrial development reached a level of maximum importance. The purpose of this article is to show the way in which the Romanian Communist Party, after taking power in the state, begins to trigger changes aimed at speeding up the transition to a Soviet-type economy. A new administrative apparatus subordinated to the interests of the newly formed political system was imposed. Applying the principle that in the socialist economy the main role is held by the state, the communist government created the necessary levers to intervene in the production processes, in the distribution of raw materials and in the conduct of internal and external trade.
