177. The Soviet collapse and the surrounding capitalist world

Author

Aptheker, Herbert

Subjects
Soviet Union -- Political aspects, Socialism -- Analysis, Science and technology, Sociology and social work
Abstract

The books 'Whither Marxism?' edited by B. Magnus and S. Cullenberg and 'Reinventing Marxism' by Howard Sherman demonstrate the factors contributing to the failure of socialism in the Soviet Union and its satellite counties. They sufficiently explain the association between socialist policies and the consequent destruction of the system. However, these books do not take into account the realities which helped evolve the policies and the system. Without examining the conditions surrounding policy formation, these books are incomplete in providing information on the failure of socialism.
