Now that the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union has collapsed, it is possible to answer some questions.

This book is part of 'The Postwar World' series, and seeks to answer such questions as: Why did the Soviet economic system fell apart? Was it the centrally planned character of Soviet socialism that was at fault? Or did a potentially viable mechanism come apart in Gorbachev's clumsy hands? Does its failure mean that true socialism is never economically viable? Economic issues were the cornerstone of soviet ideology and the soviet system, and economic issues brought the whole system crashing down in 1989-91. This book is a record of what happened, and it is also an analysis of the failure of Soviet economics as a concept. Clean copy. Record # 33993
