The Ontology of Socialism
(This work defines the essential nature of socialism as it...)
This work defines the essential nature of socialism as it existed in Eastern Europe before 1989. Drawn from a wide range of sources, it focuses on Poland's experience. The analysis not only advances our comprehension of socialist regimes in Eastern Europe, but provides a context within which to more thoroughly scrutinize the region's current changes.
