Science, Technology, and Ecopolitics in the USSR Hardback

Description

Although enormous industrial advances were made in the USSR, the country still lagged behind the West in the post-industrial age.

What the Soviets could not build or manufacture, they had to get from the West.

The final outcome was a culture developed in which there was no regard for consumerism and no respect for the environment.

The author traces the development of the Soviet malaise, but warns that a future authoritarian regime could still revive the technological race.

Conversely, he also replies to the academic debate on the excesses of modern technology in the West, with a sharp criticism of feminist and post-modernist perspectives.
