{"product_id":"red-plenty-9781555976040b","title":"Red Plenty","description":"Strange as it may seem, the gray, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairy tale. It was built on the twentieth-century magic called \"the planned economy,\" which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. \u003ci\u003eRed Plenty\u003c\/i\u003e is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche. It's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003eRed Plenty\u003c\/i\u003e is history, it's fiction, it's as ambitious as Sputnik, as uncompromising as an Aeroflot flight attendant, and as different from what you were expecting as a glass of Soviet champagne.","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826393649232,"sku":"9781555976040B","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9781555976040-l.jpg?v=1785905564","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/red-plenty-9781555976040b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
