Residual farm: From the economic product of land reform to the symbol of its disorder

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The residual farm has been transformed from the technical unit of land reform to its central critical point, coupled with high corruption potential and unusual practices entangled in a tangle of economic and political interests. It penetrated social consciousness as a symbol of clientelism, corruption, nepotism.

As such, of course, it became an instrument of political struggle. An analytical study based on original sources explains when and how this negative symbol of the interwar period, abused after World War II, was born of its content.
