- Notes:
- A map illustrating a Russian propaganda book intended "to explain to children [ages 12-14] the nature of a planned economy and to introduce them to the entire subject of social planning," with focus on the Soviet 5-year plan initiated in 1928. (v-vi) The density of the symbols of industrial development in the
Western USSR, combined with the thick rail lines to the development areas of Tashkent, Tomsk, Irkutsk and the Far East, send a very positive message. The American translator lauds the publication ("Practically every page carries the marks of genius") and the "temper of the revolutionary movement and the large human goals towards which it is consciously tending." (v, vii).
