Overview
Communism, once heralded as the "radiant future" of all humanity, has now become part of Eastern Europe's past. What does the record say about the legacy of communism as an organizational system?Michael Burawoy and Janos Lukacs consider this question from the standpoint of the Hungarian working class. Between 1983 and 1990 the authors carried out intensive studies in two core Hungarian industries, machine building and steel production, to produce the first extended participant-observation study of work and politics in state socialism.

Discusses diseases most likely to be encountered by practitioners. Some 200 clear images with concise commentary. No bibliography. Based on intensive study in Hungarian heavy industry, 1983-90, argues that communism there collapsed from the top, not the bottom, and that the average worker will experience no benefit in the change to capitalism.
