No iba a escribir review pero solo hay otra reseña aparte de esta y me parece bien vaga. Deslegitimar el samizdat por criticar la burocracia soviética... rompedor.
Tengo muchos pensamientos (ya solo por eso el libro quizás merezca mejor valoración), pero el principal es que es una propuesta muy prometedora que, sin embargo, no siempre da tanto como promete.
Especialmente la primera parte y tesis principal me ha resultado muy útil e interesante y me encantaría que algunos de vosotros lo leyeseis y hablásemos de las quejas que tienen Konrád y Szelenyi, sus debilidades y lo que tenga más interés.

Total sophistry. Socialists telling other socialists that they aren't doing socialism right. Complete and utter gibberish.
