Where Economic Inequality Is No More by P. Alampiev, published in 1959 by the Foreign Languages Publishing House, offers a comprehensive insight into the economic ideology of the Soviet Union during the height of its political influence. The book explores the foundational tenets of socialist economic planning, emphasizing how centralized governance, collective ownership, and equal access to resources were seen as mechanisms to remove disparities in wealth and opportunity.

Alampiev presents a comparative framework—contrasting capitalist structures with socialist principles—to examine the roots of economic inequality and the systematic attempts made to overcome them in a classless society. He discusses the redistribution of wealth, the abolition of private capital, and the ideological belief in equitable labor contribution and reward. Drawing from policy documents, state achievements, and socio-economic indicators of the USSR, the book argues that socialism offers a more just and humane model for organizing society.

As both a political and economic critique of capitalism and a defense of planned economies, this book served as a significant intellectual tool during the Cold War era. Today, it remains a vital historical document reflecting the aspirations, challenges, and rhetoric of mid-20th century socialist thought.
