The Crisis of Soviet Industrialization

This title was first published in 1979. With the revival of interest in Marxist ideas over the past ten or so years, Evgeny Preobrazhensky, one of the leading political and intellectual figures to emerge from the Bolshevik Revolution, has become known to a far wider circle than just the occasional specialist in Soviet history. For the English reader, direct familiarity with Preobrazhensky’s writings became possible only in 1965, with the publication of a translation of his most famous theoretical work, The New Economics. This collection expands the translation’ of Preobrazhensky’s work, with an extended bibliography advising an additional Russian material.
