Contents Preface PART ONE ORIGINS OF THE SOVIET ECONOMY PART TWO HOW THE SOVIET ECONOMY OPERATES PART THREE SOVIET ECONOMIC GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE PART FOUR REFORM AND CHANGE: PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE... This description may be from another edition of this product.
For those who enjoy learning about the Soviet system, this is a good resource. The overview is good, all the key points are touched on, it is fairly unbiased (though it seemed a little bit to me as if it became more and more sympathetic towards socialism as it went on). Highlights include a brief introduction to input-output analysis in planning and a short investigation into sources of growth and productivity (national income per factor - capital, labor and combined). As one of many sources, this is quite useful. The citations and bibliography are also very useful.
