10516 [lbo-talk] Hayek, was Re: Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

Hayek beat Lange in the calculation debate. It used to be thought differently, but it is widely recognized, including by many on the left, that Lange and Hayek were talking past each other.

Well in the case of Poland, Oskar Lange, Michel Kalecki, W&#322;odzimierz Brus and other Polish Marxist economists certainly pushed for economic reforms that would make us of market mechanisms to make the country's socialist economy more efficient.

10519 [lbo-talk] Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

I am surprised you mention hayek in this context. The absence of market is the dogma of eastern European thatcherites, but it is just a dogma. They should have read oskar Lange more carefully to know that planned economy can use market mechanism more efficiently than private one. Lange also argued ...

10521 [lbo-talk] Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

Some and some. Russian light arms were superior to anyone's. the post war AK-47 is still the gold standard in assault rifles. The T-34 was in its day the best light tank in the world. And the Soviets did have access to a lot of Western technology, in ...

10523 [lbo-talk] The effect of drones -- rank: 190

"But as with the Union in the the US Civil War, the long run can be long, bloody, and tricky." Right, and Germany's strategic disadvantage post-1941 shouldn't be confused with their on-the-ground operational capabilities, which were superior to all of Allies until at least 1943 ...

10524 [lbo-talk] The effect of drones -- rank: 190

It's hard for people today to realize how much real gloom there was in the U.S. in 1942 -- and it was more or less realistic gloom. Had the Germans broken through at Stalingrad and at El Alamein -- both real possibilities -- the last 60 years would have been quite different ...

Both versions of the Soviet victory are correct. Once Hitler lost his chance for a quick win at both or either Leningrad and Moscow, material factors vastly favor the USSR in the long run. But as with the Union in the the US Civil War, the long run can be long ...
