Tells the story of how the Soviet Union helped bring about the financialized world of capital we live in today.

Recenzje

'Oscar Sanchez-Sibony's new book is about the role of the Soviet Union in, as he puts it, 'the dismantling of our previous era.' To describe it as a contribution to the new wave of economic history does not do it justice. It is that, but also so much more - more capacious and more precise, more provocative and more satisfying, and engagingly written too.' Lewis H. Siegelbaum, Jack and Margaret Sweet Professor Emeritus of History, Michigan State University
