Abstract

Alberto Chilosi belongs to the last generation of scholars who studied the socialist system and have been able to gain first-hand experience of its operation under “real socialism”. His extraordinary testimony features a series of analyses, thoughts, and anecdotes on the workings of this system that have often been overlooked in the literature of comparative economics and in the history of economic thought, but which will undoubtedly represent an indispensable source for historians of the future. This text also offers thought-provoking materials for those who set out to think about a model of society that goes beyond the capitalist economy.
