Hello Jim: You are of course quite correct. Outside of MList circles the work has received scant attention I think. But I believe it is important to place the work in the historical context.
It was written in the middle of a rather larger tapestry - at the start of it was the so-called "Leningrad Plot". That was led by Vosnosensky. At the end of the tapestry, his ally Khrusuchev was to later bring that vision to fruition, ultimately in the so-called 'reforms' - in reality the 'Restoration of Capitalism in the USSR". In the middle of the tapestry was Stalin's view in the 'Economic Problems'. I buy Bland's argument that the origin of this work was to reject the attempts of a hidden fraction to revive private ownership. This was the ultimate meaning of the so-called "Leningrad Plot" led by Vosnosensky. We are almost done in reprinting Bland's very detailed book 'Restoration of Capitalism in the USSR" - shortly to be available. Suggested in meantime to see: https://ml-review.ca/aml/AllianceIssues/VosnosenskyFINAL.html and more fully on "Economic Problems...." https://ml-review.ca/aml/BLAND/EconProbs.htm and more, on Varga: "https://ml-review.ca/aml/AllianceIssues/Varga.html"; Be well, H -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
