History

Nove, Alec.

Russia

Allen& Unwin

Professor Nove is widely know as a writer on Russian Affairs. The vigorous, highly readable style of Stalinism and After makes it eminently suitable for courses in Russian studies and contemporary history. The aim of the book is to explain the phenomenon of Stalinism. It traces its origins, critically analyses its nature and achievements, examines the process of de-Stalinisation which followed Stalin's death, and explores the evolution of the Soviet System under Khrushchev and Brezhnev. Stalinism and After is not a biography: it is a study of the effect of the political personalties of one man and his successors on the history of the Soviet Union. Professor Nove introduces his readers to such vital questions as whether the great party-state machine which Stalin cerated is still able to maintain order and stability in a world that is increasingly unstable and disordered. His comments and criticisms are based on his personal experience of life in the Soviet Union. The Appendixes offer valuable background material including biographical notes on the central figures in the Soviet political drama, a chronological list of events from 1917 to 1965, and suggestions for further reading.

In 'The Economics of Feasible Socialism' Nove identifies a workable socialist programme, achievable in the lifetime of a child born today, that avoids farfetched or utopian assumptions.

The Economics of Feasible Socialism

George Allen & Unwin: London

This classic text identified a workable socialist program, achievable in the lifetime of a child born today, that avoided farfetched or Utopian assumptions and the deformations of ``actually existing socialism'' of the Soviet species. These achievements still resonate today. .

Routledge

First published in 1986, this text brings together a selection of papers written by the great Alec Nove on development economics, Marxist economies, the Soviet economy, and law and politics in the Soviet Union. Reflecting the varied and diverse interests of its distinguished author, the topics range from Soviet constitutional law, to Trotsky’s view of collectivization; from a critique of conventional micro-economics, to the economic disaster of the Allende regime in Chile.  The author’s long-standing immersion in the past and present of the Soviet Union helps to provide the unique insights into the workings of Socialist economies characteristic of Professor Nove’s previous work. This volume should be essential reading for anyone interested in development economics, socialist economies, or the problems facing contemporary Soviet economic reformers.
