Marxist Regimes
1 total work
This volume in the Marxist regime series focuses on Poland, examining and evaluating critically the application of Marxist doctrine in its society, assessing its interpretations, its successes and failures. The study covers Poland's history, political traditions, economic traditions, social structure and social welfare as well as questioning power and policies. The study includes an examination of the significance of Poland's position in central Europe, its chequered post-World War II experience and the sixteen-month period of the free trade union Solidarity's open existence, a dangerously long aberration in the experience of communist systems.
