256 Notes to Chapter 5 and Conclusion
Two of the most classic cold war critics in the West include Friedrich Hayek, The
Road to Serfdom (Chicago: University of Chicago, 1944), 4, 9–11, 28–29, 103–112,
143–145, and Milton Friedman, Free to Choose: A Personal Statement (New York: Har-
court Books, 1980). My comments here intend to both draw on and cut orthogo-
nally across the conventional defense of free markets.
A sampling of popular literature on the informal economic activities in the late
Soviet Union includes Yuri Brokhin, Hustling on Gorky Street (London: W. H. Allen,
1967); Konstantin Simis, USSR: The Corrupt Society: The Secret World of Soviet Capital-
ism (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1982); David Shipler, Russia: Broken Idols, Solemn
Dreams (New York: Times Books, 1983); Lev Timofeev, Soviet Peasants: Or the Peas-
ants’ Art of Starving (New York: Telos Books, 1985). See also Gregory Grossman, ed.,
Studies in the Second Economy of Communist Countries: A Bibliography (Berkeley: Uni-
versity of California Press, 1988).
Conclusion
- My thanks to Slava Gerovitch, who coined this pun in “InterNyet: Why the Soviet
Union Did Not Build a Nationwide Computer Network.” Others, such as Jack Balkin,
have discovered it independently in conversation with the author as well. Barbara
London named her 1998 video exhibit for the Museum of Modern Art, New York,
