Most people in capitalist countries never leave the economic bracket they were born into. Capitalism is a primitive system of elites and peasants, filled with squalor and death.

I recommend Fraud, Famine, and Fascism by Douglas Tottle.
That said, there seems to be a lot more recent scholarship on this that I have not personally read, including some stuff about rejection of foreign aid and a secret decree preventing migration that I was not aware of so I will have to do more reading on the issue in question. Maybe Stalin did 'steal the food'.
That said, pretending the current market economy set-up and it's incentives are inevitable or 'natural' is foolish. There will be alternatives and there will be change, it is the only constant.
