From Marx to the Market: Socialism in Search of an Economic System (Clarendon Paperbacks) - Softcover
Distinguished economists Brus and Laski--who were involved with the Planning Office of the Polish economy in the 1950s and 1960s--here develop a theoretical system of economic management which avoids the failings of both market capitalism and central planning. This book examines Marxists claim to socialism's economic rationality and studies the application of the concept in the "real socialism" of Communist party orthodoxy as well as in the tentative attempts at "market socialism", particularly in Hungary and Yugoslavia. The analysis focuses on general features of the evolution of the socialist economic system, but national experiences are used to point out the advances that have been made and the flaws in the theoretical models that have been developed.

Review:
'the enormous experience of the authors and the intellectual quality of their analysis make it a book which deserves to last'
William Outhwaite, University of Sussex, Political Studies, Volume XXXIX Number 1 March 1991
'The analysis presented in the book is highly penetrating. It remains of immediate practical relevance despite the acceleration in the pace of systematic change in Eastern Europe over the last year.'
Antoni Chawluk, University of St. Andrews, Scottish Journal of Political Economy
`This book is a welcome addition to the literature on Eastern European economies in particular, and the notion of an "economically feasible socialism" in general. It is well written and concise, with just enough background information on the history of economic development in Eastern Europe
to prepare the reader for the authors' new contributions.'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. BL With a new preface by the authors This is an important work of original scholarship by two of the most distinguished East European economists now working in the West. The authors, both of whom were involved in the Planning Office of the Polish economy in the 1950s and 1960s, present here the results of their efforts to develop theoretically a system of economic management which could in practice avoid the worst excesses of both marketcapitalism and central planning. The conclusions derived from this analysis are shown to open up a new dimension to the `socialism versus capitalism' controversy which has dominatedmuch of the world throughout the twentieth century and which is especially significant as the countries of East and Central Europe re-structure their economies. This book focuses on debates in market socialism and the problems of Eastern European countries as they reform their economies. It is by two economists, who present the results of their efforts to develop in theory an economic system which could avoid the worst excesses of both capitalism and central planning.
