New Phase

The following article is an attempt to position Rahim Razali's films in the context of the evolution of the new Malaysian cinema since the heydays of P. Ramlee. It is argued that his works usher into Malaysian cinema a new phase — the beginning of neo-realist imaginings on the question of Malay identity in post-colonial Malaysia. Rahim's films remain the earliest critical commentaries on the culture and values of the new Malay corporate class, whose emergence followed closely the Mahathir-led 'Malay modernization' project of the New Economic Policy. By way of utilizing Rahim Razali's films as an 'ethnography' on the 'New Malay' (and combined with narratives based on the author's interview with the film maker), the essay critically examines Rahim's portrayal of Malay modernity and his representation of Malayness in both the urban and rural culturalscape of a transforming nation-state.

First Time

The state of the trade cooperation in Siberia in 1926-1929 is described in the article. Such aspects as organizational building, economic development and regional specificity in the context of the transformation of associations of small industrial producers into an independent cooperative system is analyzed. Attention is paid to the peculiarities of the emergence and priority areas of activity of the Siberian Trading Union. The relevance of the study is due both to the ongoing discussion about the assessment of the state of industrial cooperation on the eve of the “great turning point”, as well as its scale and role in the development of the region. The author formulates her own approach to assess the socio-economic processes in small-scale industrial production. It is concluded that the overall result of the organizational and economic development of the Siberian trading cooperation in recent years of the new economic policy was its transformation into a force that could influence the further development of associations of handicraftsmen and artisans, but protectionist measures increased the dependence of artels on state bodies in terms of financing. supply, sales organization and created the prerequisites for the nationalization of the industrial cooperation of Siberia. The main sources of work were materials from the funds of the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the State Archives of the Novosibirsk Region, the State Archives of the Altai Territory, some of which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.

Domestic Capital

The article refutes popular belief about the necessity to abolish the New Economic Policy (NEP) of the 1920s for the purpose of industrialization. It is shown that it started successfully under NEP although due to a number of reasons the efficiency of the investments was low. The abolishment of NEP was caused not by the necessity to accelerate the industrialization but by the wrong policy towards the agriculture that stopped the development of farms. The article analyzes the discussion about possible rates of the domestic capital formation. In the course of this discussion, the sensible approach to finding the optimal size of investments depending on their efficiency was offered. This approach is still relevant today.

Sharp Criticism

The article reviews the implementation of the perspective planning in the USSR during the period of the New Economic Policy — NEP, from methodological discussions to the development of five-year plans — sectoral and for the entire national economy. The article analyzes the discussion of the proposal of the first five-year plan submitted by S. Strumilin at the congress of planning bodies in March, 1927. It is shown that the sharp criticism of this plan for being imbalanced by the leading economists of the country, in particular, V. Bazarov and N. Kondratiev, is valid. The author points out the influence of political factors on the planning process. The popular cliche that the forced industrialization in the five-year plan was necessary to prepare for the war is refuted.

Looking Back

THE period spent in opposition between 1945 and 1951 has generally been thought of as a key to the understanding of the activities of the post-war British Conservative Party. Autobiographies of the Party leaders of the time began to appear at the end of the Fifties, already looking back to a period in which the Conservatives had decisively changed their approach. So for example, Lord Woolton's Memoirs reviewed not only a term as Party Chairman which had been a highlight of his own crowded career, but also his sharing in a major act of transformation, a transformation that had led on to Conservative success since 1951: ‘the change was revolutionary’. Other key figures in the organisation reached similar conclusions as their own accounts appeared: David Maxwell-Fyfe argued that the new Party rules which he had drawn up had not only decisively widened the political base of British Conservatism, but that events since had confirmed the importance of the change. R. A. Butler's account of The Art of the Possible argued in 1971 that ‘the overwhelming electoral defeat of 1945 shook the Conservative Party out of its lethargy and impelled it to re-think its philosophy and re-form its ranks with a thoroughness unmatched for a century’. The effect was to bring both the policies of the Party and ‘their characteristic mode of expression’, as he puts it, ‘up to date’. As recently as 1978, Reginald Maudling—a key figure behind the scenes in 1945–51 as a speechwriter from Eden and Churchill and as the organising secretary of the committee which produced the Industrial Charter of 1947—reached much the same view: ‘We were at that time developing a new economic policy for the Conservative Party … It marked a substantially different approach for post-war Conservative philosophy.
