Although your theory is critical of urban industrial capitalist powers, it views urban industrialization as a required prerequisite to expand economic development and socialist reorganization to the countryside, with the goal being the achievement of rural industrialization that would abolish the distinction between town and countryside.

Don't know how this got into a thread about the Bush library, but it sounds very interesting. It deserves a thread of its own. Could Nebe's paper or a synopsis of it be shared with the rest of us?
