The book serves as a solid history of the USSR’s dismal command economy. Strongly recommended for serious economic policy wonks, although I wouldn’t recommend a layman read this, as the book is steeped with a lot of economic jargon. Hopefully American policymakers can take heed of these lessons as our economy slips further down the freedom scale.
