that you're talking here about how the Soviet system failed to account for human irrationality and how that made their attempts doomed to fail, in the light of the recent economic events in the West (or, well, the entire world, now). Which after all are largely explainable by the failure of traditional western economics to account for human irrationality, or at least to do so sufficiently. Kind of ironic.
It does sound like an interesting book, though, even if I think the comparisons to the Obama Administration are just silly.
