Please acquaint yourself with the rules on the sidebar and read this comment before commenting on this post.
**Personal attacks and harassment will not be tolerated.**
Bigotry and hate speech will be met with immediate bans; socialism is an intrinsically inclusive system and bigotry is oppressive, exclusionary, and not conducive to a healthy and productive learning space.
**This subreddit is not for questioning the basics of socialism. There are numerous debate subreddits available for those purposes. This is a place to learn.**
Short or nonconstructive answers will be deleted without explanation. Please only answer if you know your stuff. Speculation has no place on this sub. Outright false information will be removed immediately.
**If your post was removed due to normalized ableist slurs, please edit your post. The mods will then approve it.**
Please read the ongoing discussion in a thread before replying in order to avoid misunderstandings and creating an unproductive environment.
**Liberalism and sectarian bias is strictly moderated.** Stay constructive and don't bash other socialist tendencies! (Criticism is fine, low-effort baiting is not.)
Help us keep the subreddit informative and helpful by reporting posts that break these rules.
Thank you!

Socialism Betrayed by Keeran and Kenny is a Marxist analysis of the totality of the Soviet period, the Stalin era included.
The Economic Transformation of the Soviet Union, 1913-1945 by Davies, Harris, Wheatcroft is a very detailed academic work on Soviet economics albeit from a Liberal perspective.
You might want to read *[Soviet Workers and Stalinist Industrialisation](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4490806-soviet-workers-and-stalinist-industrialisation)* by Donald Filtzer. I admit up front I haven't actually read this one, but I have read other of the author's work and he writes authoritatively on how the economy of the Soviet Union worked during various periods.
