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.

Thomas Hughes once described grid operators and planners as 'historians' as they consulted past weather records and load diagrams to plan the future grid. Now, grid planners need to become 'futurists' and engage with 'rising temperatures and changing winds' as specified in climate models.
