Noul mecanism economic și criza modernizării comuniste în România anilor ʼ70

This paper re-evaluates the modernizing functions and qualitative crises of Romanian communism during the 1970s. The author argues that the core trajectories of Nicolae Ceaușescu’s economic policies were not merely reactions to international financial conditions. Instead, they stemmed from a voluntary decision to build an ultra-productive system. This productivism-focused economic design explicitly prioritized raw output and industrial performance, deliberately sidelining the social constraints typical of traditional communist frameworks.
