The author says that non-Marxist or at any rate some among them, are capable of recognizing, without accepting the Marxist formula of "base" and "superstructure," that the most important fact of life for most of the world's people is the modus operandi of their livelihood. Yet facts, in terms of human beings, are elusive. No journey to Sovietland, however intensive or prolonged, can yield more than a small sample of evidence gleaned from observation, questions, answers and discussions. The praise assumed, correctly, that free enterprise was far more efficient than slavery or feudalism in keeping consumption below production and thus fostering saving, investment and economic progress.
