Dictatorship, State Planning, and Social Theory in the German Democratic Republic
Caldwell, Peter C. (Rice University, Houston)
This book examines the way communist East Germany worked from the point of view of its experts in law, economics, philosophy and cybernetics. The state-socialist countries aimed for a post-capitalist modernization, which they hoped to achieve by way of dictatorship. This failed combination of dictatorship and social transformation contains lessons that remain relevant today.
