    He's very good in that he doesn't describe Soviet societies through rose-tinted glasses, but also describes where they went wrong. Like how he talks about disincentives for innovation which heavily contributed to the econnomic decline and ineffective use of labor.
    Very much to learn from him and this book in particular.

      Big agree! Reinforces the notion that future socialist experiments must take into account the deficiencies of past socialisms and find ways to overcome them

        Yeah, there definitely is a lot to learn from past attempts and how to build systems that can account for wrong paths they've taken, just in case we ever get the chance to move past whatever we have now.
