Adam Jan. Economic Reforms in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe since the 1960s

New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 1989. — 264 p. — ISBN10: 1349197114; ISBN13: 978-1349197118The author discusses the traditional system of management of the economy as it existed in the early 1950s in the USSR and goes on to deal with the reforms of the 1960s and of the 1980s, country by country. He shows that the focus of the reforms is on finding a proper combination of planning and the market mechanism, and their success will be judged by their ability to solve acute economic problems.The traditional Soviet systemThe Centralised System of ManagementEconomic reforms of the 1960sCommon and Contrasting Features of the Reforms of the 1960s
