The First Five-Year Plan, Stalinism, and the Fate of Marxist Political Economy in the USSR
Véronique Mickisch
This think piece is part of the forum “The Return of Political Economy in Intellectual History.”
For the JHI Blog's Forum on political economy, Véronique Mickisch critiques the continued association of "Marxism in practice” with the First Five-Year Plan in the Soviet Union and raises the need to recover the work of Marxist thinkers violently suppressed during the Stalinist purges of the 1930s.
