Living in today's Bulgaria is not easy for the majority of native households. As we try to make ends meet we begin to ask ourselves why this should be. Five simpler questions follow from this. Is it bad to be poor? How much poorer have the majority of Bulgarians become since the transition to a market economy began? What have been the main demographic effects of the changes in the aggregate ability of households to buy basic eatables? What are the main internally controllable factors affecting the consumption power and aggregate ability of households to buy basic eatables? What can households, businessmen and politicians in Bulgaria, and in countries like it, themselves do to improve the situation? That is, what can they accomplish fairy quickly without burdening the international community more than is necessary? (fragment of text)
