Wirtschaftsprogrammatik und -politik für den ländlichen Raum Rumäniens. Zwischen Agrarpopulismus und bäuerlichem Mittelstandsdenken
Economic programmes and policy for the rural areas in Romania. Between agrarian populism and peasant middle-class-thinking

Summary/Abstract: Presents the economic thinking of the romanian peasant party and the national peasant party respectively in the interwar period. Rejects an earlier thesis that based on the assmption that after the unification of the peasant party with the romanian national party in 1926, the influence of populist peasant ideology became irrelevant and the economic policy of the newly established national peasant party was orientated exclusively to middle-class peasants. In response to the economic policy of the dominant national libral party, that neglected the peasantry, but also in continuation of populist peasant ideology, the national peasant party adopted a policy that gloryfied the peasantry, but neglected in the same time the adoption of solutions to modernise agriculture and resolve the main structural problems of the peasantry.
