Abstract

This chapter introduces the notion of economic and social dualism as a system that comprises a modern economy co-existing with a traditional, oversized peasant economy and the two, while having contact with each other, are not and cannot be fully integrated. The chapter presents dualism as a background on which the book’s argument will operate. Then it moves to show how the notion of dualism could be fruitfully applied to the description and analysis of the Eastern European economies and societies. The last part of the chapter focuses on the specific case of Romania, introduced as a particular case of economic dualism necessitating a structural reform of the agricultural sector as a crucial step in the modernization of the country.
