How far have the Soviet Union and the Eastern European states modeled on her succeeded in eradicating social inequalities? David Lane's THE END OF INEQUALITY?, published by Penguin Books in 1971, broke completely new ground. This new book represents a successor-volume. completely revised, updated and reset throughout.
