How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet (Information Policy): Benjamin Peters: 9780262034180: Amazon.com: Books

"In How Not to Network a Nation, Benjamin Peters reverses the usual cold war dualities and argues that the American ARPANET took shape thanks to well-managed state subsidies and collaborative research environments and the Soviet network projects stumbled because of unregulated competition among self-interested institutions, bureaucrats, and others. The capitalists behaved like socialists while the socialists behaved like capitalists.”
