This much, though, stems from the greed and power-hunger of those in charge. Anderson and his protagonist in this story do both concede, and I agree, that some degree of collectivization is necessary to the project they're undertaking. This is something the 1950s Anderson didn't approve of, the 1990s disapproved of even more, and no one who remembers the USSR, or Mao's China, or other such regimes, would volunteer to live in. But to do so, the colony has become extremely collectivist and top-down, with little to now personal freedom and an ever-present secret police. The now-independent and unified colonies on Venus are working on terraforming it. It's not the real Venus we know now, but it's a lot more realistic than most sf and popular imagination portrayed at the time. It's oppressively hot still, but dry, barren, and uninhabitable in its current state. But this Venus is not the verdant jungle of other sf of this period. You might argue with the politics of it, and Anderson in his later years certainly did. Another interesting feature is the story set on Venus.
