ABSTRACT
In the 1970s, I wrote my first three books (published successively in 1978, 1980 and 1983), which together form a comprehensive critique of Marxism in theory and in its practical application. Although they were written more than ten years before the sudden and devastating collapse of the socialist temple, my books not only predicted the collapse but also described the mechanism by which it would come about (the political and social erosion of socialist regimes as an inevitable result of their economic failure).
