"When the threats of nuclear war and eco-catastrophe put human existence in question, there is no time for traditional dogmas. Rudolf Bahro writes as a socialist who finds his humanist values embodied today in the ecology and peace movements. These have the potential to grow together into an overall 'movement for conversion in the metropolises' in which all forces of emancipation will find a place. In today's extreme situation, Bahro looks to a mobilisation of human energies of the kind generally associated with religion more than politics. Socialism and Survival will raise many socialist hackles, but it offers help and encouragement to the growing number who share Bahro's own priorities."--

Drawing on newly available archival materials including official documents, reports, and personal accounts, this remarkable study presents a detailed picture of the living standards of various social groups in prewar Soviet Russia, and the role of state-controlled distribution of food and goods as a tool of the Stalinist dictatorship. The study offers a new perspective not only on the period of collectivization, industrialization, and terror but also on the regime's most rudimentary method of controlling human behavior and reshaping the social order. In her conclusion the author analyzes the long-term impacts of the Stalinist "dictatorship of distribution", from bureaucratization to rural depopulation to the emergence of a distinctive type of black-market economy.
