Restructuring the Soviet Economy addresses the fundamental economic problem facing the Soviet government at the present time. How can an economy which has been centrally planned for 60 years make the testing and painful transition to market-based principles? The Soviet experience in the latter half of the 1980s suggests that it is going to be a much more difficult task than was initially believed in either East or West. David Dyker seeks to uncover the underlying reasons for the paralysis of perestroika . He focuses on the crisis points - some new, some perennial - of the economy: the relationship between the enterprise, the regions and the centre, agriculture, investment, inflation, and the budget deficit. A clear and concise treatment of an area which the non-specialist often finds obscure, it is analytical, without being too technical for the non-economist.
