Reasons for Reading

To be free, people need to understand the essence of events and phenomena that directly affect their lives. Otherwise, they are doomed to remain slaves to circumstances, prejudices, mystifications, and deception.

Чтобы быть свободными, людям необходимо понимать суть событий и явлений, непосредственно влияющих на их жизнь. В противном случае — они обречены оставаться рабами обстоятельств, предрассудков, мистификаций, обмана

Opening Paragraph

This book is addressed to readers who are capable of overcoming difficulties without undue emotion and with open eyes, rather than burying their heads in the sand in times of danger, and who adhere to the principle: better a bitter truth than a sweet lie.
The reader is invited to become acquainted with a relatively new perspective on long-known and familiar things (new in relative terms, since the foundations of the theory presented here were developed in 1979). The author made a subtle hint of the existence of a new economic theory, in particular a different perspective on the economic category of "need," in his thesis. More was unrealistic at the time. Attempts to publish articles on this topic in periodicals, either during the years of glasnost and perestroika or later, were unsuccessful, with the exception of the article "A Possible Option" in the samizdat journal "Social Democrat" No. 2, which had a circulation of about 20 copies and was published in 1989. Therefore, in 2005, a book was independently published ("Communism: The Path from Slavery to Freedom," St. Petersburg, Roza Mira, 2005).
Published in 2008, "The Decline of Market Civilization" (St. Petersburg, Polytechnic University Publishing House, 2008) was another attempt to present a new fundamental economic theory.

More than 13 years have passed since then, during which Russia, following the rest of the world, has plunged into a deep socioeconomic crisis, stagnation, and decay. Moreover, the world is being drawn into a new world war, so it became necessary to publish a new version of the book, taking into account the comments received, correcting errors and typos, as well as adding updated statistical data, and more detailed and precise wording.

Furthermore, the publication of this edition coincides with the following significant dates falling in 2022:

  • 100th anniversary of the founding of the USSR;
  • 105th anniversary of the Great October Revolution;
  • 350th anniversary of the birth of Peter Alekseevich Romanov, not only the first emperor of Russia, but also the first Russian revolutionary, who launched the bourgeois revolution in our country.

Эта книга адресована людям читающим, способным без излишних эмоций и с открытыми глазами преодолевать трудности, а не прятать голову в песок в случае опасности, придерживающимся принципа – лучше горькая правда, чем сладкая ложь.
Читателю предлагается познакомиться с относительно новым взглядом на давно известные и привычные вещи (новым – относительно, поскольку основы излагаемой здесь теории разработаны в 1979 году). Лёгкий намёк на существование новой экономической теории, в частности иной взгляд на экономическую категорию "потребность", был сделан автором ещё в дипломной работе. На большее тогда было нереально рассчитывать. Попытки опубликовать в периодической печати статьи на эту тему ни в годы «гласности и перестройки», ни в последующие, успехом не увенчались, если не считать статью «Возможный вариант» в самиздатовском журнале «Социал-демократ» №2, имевшем тираж около 20 экземпляров и вышедшем в 1989 году. Поэтому в 2005 году была самостоятельно издана книга («Коммунизм – путь из рабства к свободе», СПб, Роза мира, 2005).
В изданной в 2008 году книге «Закат рыночной цивилизации» (СПб, Издательство Политехнического университета, 2008) была предпринята очередная попытка изложить новую фундаментальную экономическую теорию.
С тех пор прошло уже более 13 лет, в которые Россия, вслед за всем миром, погрузилась в глубокий социально-экономический кризис, застой и загнивание. Более того, мир втягивается в новую мировую войну, поэтому возникла необходимость в издании нового варианта книги с учётом поступивших замечаний, с исправлениями допущенных ошибок и опечаток, а также дополнениями, обновлёнными статистическими данными, более развёрнутыми и точными формулировками.
Кроме того, выход данного издания связан с тем, что на 2022 год приходятся следующие знаменательные даты:

  • 100-летие образования СССР;
  • 105-летие Великой Октябрьской революции;
  • 350 лет со дня рождения Петра Алексеевича Романова, не только первого императора России, но и первого российского революционера, начавшего буржуазную революцию в нашей стране.
