Planned Social Solidarity in the Soviet Union
The Soviet Union, being a planning society with a positive theory of social organization, unlike our society, has a positive theory of social cleavages. Its aim is the activation of all citizens for mass goals and the elimination of cleavages. Sharp cleavages were inherited from czarist days, and other potential cleavages are involved in the leadership of the Communist party and in the rapidity of enforced change. The Party undertakes to remove t…

"The Consumer Becomes a "Problem
capacity for accumulating and sheltering other little difficulties that crawl and bite-and by and by we begin to scratch; we have a problem demanding action. There have always been consumer problems. One has only to go back to medieval guild regulations, e.g., that cloth should be of the same goodness at the center as at the edges, to see how old is the struggle for quality standards; or to the sumptuary legislation of the fourteenth and later ce…
