Restructuring the Soviet Economy [PDF ebook] 

Restructuring the Soviet Economy examines the Soviet leadership“s most urgent question – how to revitalize the soviet economy. David Dyker argues that the current impasse can can only be understood in the context of the failure of 60 years of central planning. He analyses both the problems besetting the centrally planned system and those that have paralysed perestroika and assesses whether the most ambitious attempt ever to reform the Soviet economy will succeed.
