Synopsis

Written in 1936 and published the following year, this evaluation of Stalinism sets out Trotsky’s critique using a Marxist framework. Facts, figures and statistics are used to argue that Stalinist policies rejected the productive potential of the nationalised planned economy that emerged from the October Revolution.

The text also presents a prediction of the Soviet Union’s eventual collapse. With its historical focus, it suits readers interested in twentieth-century political history and Marxist debate.
