Publisher's Synopsis
An important publication of Guevara's highly controversial and much speculated upon critique of the Soviet economic model. As minister for industry and head of Cuba's National Bank, Che prepared this manuscript to compare the Cuban experience with that of the Soviet bloc. His subject matter is nothing less than the question of how society is to move from an economy based in profit to an economy based in human need - his argument being to do away entirely with capitalist concepts and formulas. Features extensive appendices.
