Author: Savelin, Z. (Zinovii)
Title: Fata-Morgana ILI Burzhuaznaia Lozh O "Narodnom Kapitalizme
Description: Moskva, Goslizdat, 1956. First Edition. First edition; 7 3/4 x 5; pp. 3-62, [2]; stapled pictorial wraps; illustrated with political cartoons by Lev Samuilov, Boris Efimov, and Herluf Bidstrup; light wear to corners and tips of spine; in very good to near fine condition. A scarce publication, rumoured to have been confiscated in the entirety of its run, it was published in the midst of the Cold War as an anti-People's Capitalism propaganda. A political meme, popularized in the 1950s, it touted the success of the American economical system throughout the world. The author of the current book, allegedly basing it on official statistics and facts, attempted to disprove the existence of people's capitalism beyond a theoretical idea, calling it a mirage, or Fata-Morgana. Very good .
