| + | ''The Revolution Betrayed'' explores the fate of the Russian Revolution after Lenin's death. Written in 1936 and published the following year this brilliant and profound evaluation of Stalinism from the Marxist standpoint prophesied the collapse of the Soviet Union and subsequent related events. Trotsky employs facts, figures, and statistics to show how Stalinist policies rejected the enormous productive potential of the nationalized planned economy in favor of a wasteful and corrupt bureaucratic system. | ||
