Fellow of St. Anthony's College and Lecturer in Soviet Economics at the University of Oxford
The growing contradictions between the command economy and the realities of the modern industrial economy have forced the Communist governments of Central Europe and the U.S.S.R. to seek economic reforms. How do they propose to change their economic system? What will be the probable economic, political, and social outcome of any new measures?
