So, we are proud to present to you the Russian translation of “The People's Republic of Walmart”.

What is this book about? About future. And not just about the future, but about future socialism. Or more precisely, about the backbone of socialism: the planned economy.

They will say to us: hey, but the USSR has long since fallen asleep along with its planned economy? That's right, he died. But economic planning technologies have not gone away: they are actively developing to this day. And even (oh horror!) they are actively used. And not some renegades with cabbage in their beards, but in the top corporations like Walmart and Amazon.

At the same time, the development of computers and the Internet is already giving us such opportunities for economic planning that Soviet planners never had to think about and dream. By the way, modern planners don’t even dream of it: they calmly use it. They are already planning - though not for us yet.

That is what this book is about. What is especially valuable is that it was written not by economists for economists, but by living people for living people. Not in boring, scientific language, but in a colorful, bright and imaginative way.

We strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the future. Read for yourself and share with your friends!
