These Days by George Sokolski
Sokolski argues that socialism failed in Great Britain while succeeding in Soviet Russia. He blames Britain’s freedom limits, high prewar living standards, and reliance on imports, contrasting with Russia’s NEP history, coercive state control, and self sufficiency potential. He cites imperial trade shifts and currency issues as underlying causes.
