This volume extends the analysis developed in Zaleski's 1971 work. He provides details of the planning process and its outcome during the Stalinist years, including the long- and medium-range plans that were perceived as a means of stimulating greater efforts by the populace rather than serious statements of goals to be met. Zaleski's conclusions are valid for understanding the Soviet system of today and for evaluating the nature of economic planning in any authoritarian state.

This book describes and analyzes the steps taken by the Soviet government during the last five years in modifying the organization and management of the Soviet economy. Zaleski, by virtue of his profound knowledge of how the Soviet planning system has evolved from its earliest days to the present, cuts through a mass of detail to a clear picture of recent reforms.Originally published in 1967.
