Privatization as a Socioeconomic Phenomenon
The industrial policy of the last few years has been marked by the disintegration of established economic ties and a protracted structural crisis. This makes the transition to a market economy more painful, and workers at all levels face unaccustomed difficulties associated with the survival of enterprises and their conversion to forms of economic management more suited to the new socioeconomic realities. Economic adaptation (searching for investors, economic partners, and markets; creating competitive products; expanding and redesigning production, etc.) is intimately linked to social adaptation, that is, workers' search for their place in the emerging system of economic relations.
