Agricultural Income of the Farm Population as a Means of the Civilizational Progress of the Country in the People's Poland
Abstract
The assumption was made by the author that changes of the income situation
of farm population are reflected in the developement or setbacks of the civilizational
progress of the country. It was identified with changes in the living standards
of farmer families. In consequence much attention was devoted to the
proportions of distribution of earned income in agriculture, in order to emphasize
the relation between economic base of individual holdings and changes in material
living conditions of farm population.
The article is opened with the analysis of tendencies of agricultural income
shaping which at the same time serves as the source of information on the economic
revival and recession in the country i.e. on their periodical division. Further
deliberations indicate at the interrelations between economic base of farms and
the level of consumption and the interest in non-productional investments. Particular
importance is attributed to the expenditures belonging to the sphere of
the so-called "other consumption" which is treated as an indicator of the civilizational
progress of the country.
There are also comparisons drawn on the rate of growth of work efficiency
of the employed in farming and on consumer's money. That can visualize a role
of the price factor in the processes of progress in the country. The conclusions
indicate that fluctuations in the level and rate of growth of agricultural income
can influence the reproductive processes in farms. In case of negative fluctuations
they were manifested not by limiting productional investments but by changes in
invetntories and in herds (stocks) which is mostly in the field of breeding. At the
same time farms developed their productional investments as much as they could,
without relating it to current profitability of production. They realized that the
increase in profitability has to come, however as the experience taught, it would
be short-lived, on account of the fact that purchase prices are not adjusted to
the level of living costs. That type of reasoning, espesially the strife of farms
to strengthen their economic foundations by means of investment can on the one
hand prove the vitality and rationality of that economy, and the other- the
openness to the processes of progress in the country. These latter, however, were
halted by agricultural policies of the Statte, pariticuilarly as regards prices. It is
also found that the developement of consumption and of non-productional investmeats in the country was of a cyclical character. It influenced directly shaping
of the civilizational progress in the country.
The driving force of that process i.e. the economic base of private farms
was narrow and changing over time. Some tendencies of its increase have been
marked throughout the examined period. That process was however slow and not
without disturbances.
