description: Can a socialist planned economy work, and work in a way that leads away from the exploitation, inequality, and greed of capitalism? The defenders of capitalism say no. But Fundamentals of Political Economy, a pathbreaking book about socialist economic theory, offers a different and exhilarating answer. Here is a work about the Maoist experience from 1949 to 1976, in which one quarter of humanity transformed an economy, a society, and themselves through socialist revolution... A visionary work written by Maoist forces during the Cultural Revolution that the present rulers of China have suppressed... A valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion and debate about the nature, purposes, and feasibility of a planned socialist economy... A book for all who dream of and struggle for a new world.
