Descrição: Argues that those who treat the transition to capitalism in Russia & Eastern Europe as a triumph are ignoring the reality of economic depressions, decreased growth rates, & an increase in the unequal distribution of income/wealth. Western apologetics manipulate statistics to blame the communists for introducing inadequate reforms & "rent seekers" for creating profit without production. The apologetic literature has transformed inaccurate interpretations & theories into the prevailing ideology that capitalism induces economic growth & relieves social distress. It also advances the myth that planned economies failed because resources were wasted, the environment was degraded, & leaders gave priority to personal enrichment at the expense of the citizens. In reality, poverty, environmental disaster, agricultural crisis, & corruption have been greater in the transition economies. Historical research has shown that well-functioning market economies are the exception rather than the rule but the apologetic literature continues to ignore the distinction between subjective preferences & objective knowledge. 4 Tables, 56 References.
