Summary/Abstract: Red Globalization depicts the economic globalization of the Soviet Union. The primary merit of the book, I argue, lies in emphasis and counteraction of numerous misconceptions regarding economic policies of Eastern European socialist countries that followed the USSR’s model. Presented in a temporal manner, the sequence of events is globally embedded at every turn, a timely and necessary act of historical contextualization that ultimately demonstrates international economic dependencies.
