| Summary | Annotation The Soviet Union and Eastern Europe provide unique examples of large-scale relatively highly developed centrally planned economies. Inthe 1980seconomists in both the East and Westbegan to focuswith increasingly critical attention on the economies of the Soviet Bloc, in an attempt to explain why they were performing so poorly in comparison with the economies of the Western powers and the capitalist countries of South-East Asia. First published in 1988 thissubstantial and innovative contribution to the critical literature on the economies of the former Soviet blocisunusual in that its author is equally familiar with both Western and Eastern sources. It highlights, in particular, a discrepancy between the behaviour of individuals in Soviet-style economiesand that expected of agents in amarket system. It proceeds to outline how the consequent discordance between microeconomic practice and macroeconomic planning generates fundamental economic distortions. |
