State Capitalism in Russia (1996)

Second-Hand

Very Good condition

A reprint of Cliff's classic analysis of state capitalism in Russia with a new introduction by the author.

In 1948 Tony Cliff distributed in duplicated form The Nature of Stalinist Russia. In it he set out for the first time an argument that Russia was state capitalist and not some form of socialist state as nearly all other socialists around the world argued.

Nearly fifty years later Cliff's theory of state capitalism was proven devastatingly accurate when the Eastern European and Russian Stalinist regimes collapsed.

Here we reprint this classic work, with a new, brief introduction by the author. It remains the clearest understanding of Eastern European social and political development since the Second World War, as well as being a 'necessary rebuttal of Stalinism and the reaction to its decay.

Remains the clearest understanding of Eastern European social and political development since the Second World War.
