Excellent, fun book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
What a gem. This book ranks up there with Alec Nove which is very unusual. What is especially great about this book is that because it focuses on just 1917-1921 it actually goes into more detail about proposed policies and debates about policies, policies enacted for brief periods, planned policies, the ideological and structural reasons behind enacting policies, etc. It is a political history in ways, but just about the structure of the planned economy. Brilliant little book. It was slightly weak in trying to tie it all together with mobilization and with the short chapter at the end about the next 60 years. But that can be safely skimmed and ignored.
