It argues that the Soviet experience demonstrates that remarkable quantitative progress can be achieved, but at a price Western capitalist societies would not be prepared to tolerate. Map: The Republic of the USSR. "The Economic Development of the USSR" by Roger Munting, published in 1983 in Great Britain in paperback, 228pp, ISBN 0709917406Condition Notes: Very good condition, clean & tidy copy with a touch of rubbing to the cover corners and some light sunning (fading) to the front coverAbout this book: The Soviet economy is one of the largest and most influential in Europe and the first major economy to adopt full-scale socialist planning. Enormous progress has been made since Tsarist days and the holocaust that followed the Bolshevik Revolution. In 1913, Russia's income per head was only 61% of the European average, whereas by the 1970s, it was fast approaching the European level. The book shows how the Soviet Union has achieved such enormous economic advance and at what cost. It argues that the Soviet experience demonstrates that remarkable quantitative progress can be achieved, but at a price Western capitalist societies would not be prepared to tolerate. Moreover, though the planning and control mechanism of the Soviet Union produced striking results, it was by no means perfect as an allocated system and in the case of agriculture, it has often failed to produce satisfactory results. The book is therefore both an up-to-date survey of the economic achievements of the Soviet Union since the Revolution as well as an objective analysis of the problems encountered in forcing the pace of modernisation. It also provides an impartial assessment of the merits and defects of the Soviet planning system which subsequently served as a prototype for several other European countriesContents:Weights and Measures and Exchange RatesList of TablesMap: The Republic of the USSRPrefaceEditor's Introduction by Derek H.
