Christian and Donald sit down for a discussion on Moshe Lewin's 1974 tome Political Undercurrents in Soviet Economic Debates. They discuss Bukharin, the Left Opposition, Stalin, Soviet reformers, cybernetic planning, and more. Unfortunately, Lewin's book is out of print but we recommend getting your hands on a used copy if possible. If you can't, his book The Soviet Century is still in print from Verso Books. We hope to continue this to be a continuous reading series on the problems of building socialism.
