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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728384983328,"sku":"NEW0275953831","price":112.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51dROwqwVVL.jpg?v=1779423667","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/science-technology-and-ecopolitics-in-the-ussr-0275953831","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
