Summary/Abstract: The present paper displays some characteristics of the food crisis in Romania during the 1980s. Daily life in communist Romania was a difficult issue, with the socialist economy serving the commands of the Party’s leaders. In order to pay the country’s foreign debt, Ceauşescu introduced the system of cards, the only way that allowed people to buy food. Romania was the country where people queued daily when they wanted to buy bread, meat, milk and any other food product.
