520 The first edition of this seminal book in 1971 pointed out
the fatal defects of Marxist theory that would lead to the
collapse of the Soviet economy. In this revised edition,
Paul Craig Roberts examines how reality triumphed over
Marxist theory and the implications for the future of
Russia and eastern Europe. In 1971, Roberts created a
firestorm among professional Sovietologists by proclaiming
that the economies of the USSR and its East Bloc allies
were doomed because their planned economies were, in
reality, anything but planned. Expanding on his original
ideas, Roberts demonstrates in this book the fatal
shortcomings of Marxist economies, ranging from
misallocation of resources to ersatz capitalistic concepts
grafted onto a system that calls for production without
regard to profit. Roberts argues that the economies of the
nations emerging from the USSR's collapse must grasp the
profound truths in this book if they are to become viable.
