| Publisher Description: Having published numerous works on the Soviet and post-Soviet economy, Columbia University's "Richard Ericson" is well placed to provide this excellent account of one of "the" major transition economies. The book traces the way in which the Russian economy was effectively destroyed by President Gorbachev's reforms with the institutional, cultural and organizational legacies of the command economy doggedly continuing to constrain policy reform and implementation. This readable and authoritative book is an exceptional contribution to the debate that comes from a balanced and fair perspective. |
