The character of postwar small business associations in Greece was indelibly stamped by the authoritarian democracy that was constructed between 1945 and 1967. The integration of Greece in the process of European economic unification in the early 1960s was the fuse that sparked the accumulated frustrations into strong collective action, leading some tradesmen and artisans to question the political status quo and identify with centrist and left wing parties. This socio-political ferment led to the renegotiation of petit-bourgeois identity and attempts to link it to a new political context.

En Cappadoce, les communautés grecques sous domination turque, au XIXe siècle, complètent les revenus de l'agriculture par des activités de commerce autour de Constantinople. Le régime égalitaire de transmission des biens institué par l'Église orthodoxe est mis en question par un droit inégalitaire imposé par l'État ottoman centralisateur et favorisant les agnats. Dans les villages grecs, on recourt à des ventes fictives et à l'arbitrage des évêques pour maintenir l'égalité. Cependant, le droit ottoman satisfait les familles riches qui préservent ainsi l'unité de leurs entreprises commerciales.
