Description

Varga was, for a time, if not the most influential economist in the world, then at least the most influential Marxist economist in the world. His work constituted the building blocks of the Soviet planned economy, and consequently came under sharp criticism from both Marxist dissidents and western cold warriors. This specialist collection will be of interest to historians, economists, and those general readers looking to understand the Soviet Union.
