  • Summary

    This chapter discusses the important influence of the Old Communists on the hope generation of economists. Old Communists taught them on the basis of very different, more violent memories of World War II and tended to consider Stalinism necessary to force socialism into being. Regarding economic knowledge, this chapter describes the historical situation that nourished their beliefs in the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism: anti-fascism, anti-capitalism, class conflict, the single party system, and historical determinism.
