Political Power and Social Theory, By Barrington Moore, Jr.

Political Power and Social Theory

“Mr. Moore has drawn upon a wide range of illustrative material gathered from printed sources and has supplemented this by statements gathered from ex-Soviet witnesses. . . He has succeeded, in very large measure, in ‘thinking himself' into the situation of the Soviet factory manager, collective farm chairman, research scientist, and artist, and thus in making sense of the tensions and adjustments which form the pattern of daily life under a dictatorship.' — New York Herald Tribune.
