Role přidružené výroby na výkonnost zemědělství v komunistickém Československu v osmdesátých letech 20. století

The main goal of this thesis is to objectively evaluate the efficiency of non-agricultural activities of collective farms in communistic Czechoslovakia. The goal is to find out how did these activities pay off for the collective farms and using the methods of history and economics to formulate the main problems related to that matter. Along with the methods of history and economics I will use the methodological approach of economic, social and political history. The main proposition of my analysis is the statement, that the non-agricultural activities of collective farms were in fact an attempt to improve the system of the collectivized agriculture and to eliminate some of its flaws. This thesis will also be a contribution to the discussion about the efficiency of collective farms in Czechoslovak Socialistic Republic. The analysis of the phenomenon of non-agricultural activities of collective farms should bring along new arguments for evaluating the efficiency of the socialistic agricultural system in Czechoslovakia. For my analysis I will particularly use the issued and non-issued sources, such as the reports and speeches of former Communist Party highest members or the reports of party's Presidium or its Committee for the Agriculture and Food. I will also use the Statistical Yearbooks of Czechoslovak Socialistic Republic, periodical public press and scholarly literature (mainly the studies of Karel Jech, Petr Blažek, Otakar Turek or Martin Myant).
