Reviews

[Jordan McIntosh · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of similarities with socialism but more differences. Sure, he believed in creating nationalised industries to fasttrack development, but he also believed strongly in "class cooperation" over unnecessary warfare and cooperating with western organisations and nations to raise money for loans for projects, and maintaining a market economy. Interesting perspective. I also love how much he glazes the economic development of China as seeming to be the best action the world could've taken at the time, pretty funny.
