В 1975 году известный экономист, лауреат Нобелевской премии Милтон Фридман опубликовал книгу Бесплатных завтраков не бывает. Но масса людей с этой идеей не согласны и они говорят, что а в СССР многое важное было совсем бесплатным!

Обсуждению именно этого мифа и посвящена книга профессора Игоря Липсица, объясняющая устройство советской схемы "бесплатного" распределения благ в СССР. Автор рассказывает, как и почему в СССР возникла идея и практика якобы бесплатного выделения гражданам ряда жизненных благ. Книга наглядно иллюстрирует и показывает, как отсутствие частной собственности и централизованное распределение ресурсов, товаров и услуг, оказывали влияние на качество жизни обычных граждан, начальства и высшего руководства страны.

На примерах показано, что использование бесплатности не сократила, а усилило социальное расслоение в советском обществе и более того - стало инструментом подавления прав и свобод и жесткого контроля властями поведения граждан СССР.

Книга Бесплатное (?) в СССР предназначена для широкого круга читателей, интересующихся экономической историей СССР и моделями авторитарного управления нациями, которые в XXI веке снова проявляются в политической жизни все большего числа стран мира.

In 1975, renowned economist and Nobel Prize laureate Milton Friedman published the book There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch. However, many people disagree with this idea, arguing that "in the USSR, many essential things were completely free!"

This myth is the central focus of Professor Igor Lipsits' book, which explains the structure of the Soviet system of "free" distribution of goods and services. The author explores how and why the USSR developed the idea and practice of seemingly free access to essential resources for its citizens. Through vivid examples, the book illustrates how the absence of private property and centralized resource allocation impacted the quality of life for ordinary citizens, government officials, and the country's elite.

It demonstrates that the concept of "free" distribution did not reduce but instead deepened social inequality in Soviet society. Moreover, it became a tool for suppressing rights and freedoms, allowing authorities to maintain strict control over the population.

The book Free (?) in the USSR is intended for a wide audience interested in the economic history of the Soviet Union and authoritarian governance models, which are once again becoming increasingly relevant in the political landscape of the 21st century.
