After 25 years, says Author Tunis, "one in every three of us is saying frankly: 'I have not yet figured what to use for money.' '' Average earned income in 1934 of the 541 members who reported was $4,445. One affluent member of 1911 paid an income tax on $125,000 a year.

...richer the country must have a level of labor productivity that exceeds that of the foremost Capitalist countries. The Stakhanov movement is such a movement. It opens up new prospects for the practical strengthening of Socialism in our country and for turning it into the (world's) most affluent land.'' Communism at Last?
