USSR in Crisis: Failure of an Economic System by Marshall Goldman (English) Pape

Description: USSR in Crisis by Marshall Goldman The Soviet Union in the post-Brezhnev era confronts an economic disaster on a vast scale. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In virtually all sectors of the economy, evidence of stagnation, waste, and mismanagement proliferates. The convergence of these problems is no historical accident. As Marshall Goldman. a leading analyst of the Soviet economy, demonstrates, the Russians continue to adhere to a planning model set forth by Stalin in the 1920s. The chances of a turnaround, therefore, hinge on reform of the system-reform that the Soviet leaders fear might trigger unpredictable and uncontrollable forces that have been pent up for sixty-five years. Author Biography Goldman-Professor of Economics, Harvard University. Review "In a well-written survey. . .Marshall Goldman reviews the main causes for the stagnation and decline of the Soviet economic system.
