How did Soviet economists go from trying to reform socialism to helping make capitalism possible? Reviewing three recent books, an upcoming essay by Anna Ivanova follows their uneasy path between loyalty to Marxism, market experiments, competition with the West, and “civilizing” the population.

It took me months to figure out how to extract 30,000 careers from the Colonial Office List; it took a little over a day to repeat the full process for the Indian Office List. The visualization now shows the very different global geography of these two bureaucracies in the British Empire.
