Dr. Max Trecker (Leipzig)
The Role of Private Entrepreneurship in State Socialism: The GDR in Comparison with Poland and Hungary
Officially, there was no place for private entrepreneurs in state socialism. As “class enemies” they were at best tolerated for a brief period of transition to socialism. But
theory and practice differed from each other and policies in the three countries took a different turn from another early on. The most remarkable case among the three is the
former GDR. Despite its reputation for being “orthodox” in its policy making, the GDR leadership never completely nationalized the private sector up till 1989 and private entrepreneurs in the late GDR belonged to the most privileged social group after high party nomenclature. In the lecture, the attitude of party leadership in the three countries to
private entrepreneurship will be compared with a focus on late socialism and an emphasis on the GDR as “maverick” country in this field among the state-socialist regimes.
