So argue the authors of China and the Crisis of Marxism-Leninism, who believe that Mao’s programs were utopian fantasies that greatly aggravated the incurable flaws of the Stalinist order, now eroding worldwide.

ISBN: 9780367016760 / Angielski / Twarda / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Examining the government's inability to establish a coherent national program for agrarian reform, the author...
