Was Communism Doomed?

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book delves into the psychological underpinnings of communism, questioning whether its failures stem from psychological issues rather than structural ones. It examines the lack of individual incentives and the concept of psychological ownership, suggesting that these factors may lead to learned helplessness and moral corruption. Through historical analysis of Eastern Europe and the USSR in the 20th century, it evaluates the ideology and practical outcomes of communism while addressing the criteria for defining an economic system's success.
