Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Balance Sheet of Sovietism
But whatever course the dealings with the Soviets may assume, it is apparent that the first stage of the Socialist experiment in Rus sia has been completed and a new phase is rapidly evolving. With International Finance playing an important part in the future devel opment of Russia, the whole trend of events must necessarily become the joint function of two factors, Communism and Capitalism, seek ing to make concessions to each other. Social ists are hoping that these mutual reverences will result in converting Capitalism into mild Communism, while capitalists expect Commun ism to assume the form of mild Capitalism. In all probability both groups will fail in their expectations as, from a strictly scientific view point, Capitalism and Socialism are phenomena mutually excluding each other.
