[Marxism] RE: Naming the System



Hi,
Without wishing to sound sycophantic, I just finished reading Michael Yates'
'Naming the System' and thought it was a great piece of work, eminently
readable and throughly commendable. Cheers Michael!

This is a good piece by Petras. I will send it to my comrades at Monthly
Review. A long time ago, I taught a college course in comparative economic
systems. I can't remember the name of this little book I used, but it had
many statistical comparisons between the socialist and capitalist
economies. Over a wide range of standard economic measures, there wasn't a
whole lot of difference (and there was far greater equality in the
socialist economies). Of course, today the whole history has been
rewritten, more or less, to conform to the views of the anti-communists.
