In Czech

Štúdia sa zaoberá fungovaním obchodu v slovenskej dedine Pekárka počas socializmu. Ukazuje, že v Pekárke obchod a nakupovanie neboli odcudzené ako v mnohých miestach počas socializmu a vysvetľuje príčiny, prečo k odcudzeniu nedošlo. Všíma si pritom označenie vybudovania obchodu a nárastu v spotrebe ako ukazovatele pokroku a začlenenie predaja do tradičného sociálneho života dediny.
