By the mid 20th century an entire field had emerged conceptualizing theorizing monitoring and analyzing the largest and most consequential social and economic natural experiment in human history: Real life Socialism. This research review focuses on the fundamental literature associated with the comparative study of socialist and capitalist systems. It features both a well rounded inquiry of the modern history of economic thought as well as a vibrant and critical disentanglement of the role of the economic system from the role of environment and policy decisions as determinants of economic performance. This review will be an interesting and invaluable research resource for academics and students alike 21.
