About the book

The Soviet Union was built on 20th-century magic called ‘the planned economy’, which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. This book is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away.
