The Myth of the Plan

Economics

Hutchinson, London

Peter Rutland analyzes the role played by regional and local organs of the Soviet Communist Party in economic management from 1970 to 1989. Using a range of Soviet political and economic journals, newspapers and academic publications, he examines Communist Party economic interventions in construction, energy, transport, consumer goods, and agriculture. He convincingly argues that party interventions hindered rather than assisted the search for efficiency in the Soviet economy and represent a major obstacle to the current economic reform movement.

The Myth of the Plan: Lessons of Soviet Planning Experience

Open Court Pub. Co

The author argues that the behaviour of Soviet bureaucrats is intelligible in the same terms as that of Western planning officials. He claims that the Soviet system is unreformable and cannot solve its current difficulties, so the lessons of its failures are mainly useful for the West.

Business and the State in Contemporary Russia is the most recent volume in the John M. Olin Critical Issues series, published by Westview in conjunction with Harvard's Davis Center for Russian Research.
