Summary, etc. This book treats the Soviet-type economy and its variants as a system of institutions for allocating resources, as a set of institutions and policies in interaction with a set of economic ideas, and as a vehicle for an economic development strategy. It also examines the changes that have taken place in this approach to economic organisation as it has spread to other countries, and as it attempts to adapt to the changing environment it has created in its homeland.<br/><br/>The author starts with an examination of the prototype, the Stalinist planning system, showing first, in Chapter 1, what kind of system it is through a consideration of its origins. Chapters 2 and 3 describe how the classic Soviet-type system functions in settling the fundamental economic issues of allocating scarce resources. Chapter 4 describes the performance of the economy of the U.S.S.R. under these institutions in terms of its growth and productivity over the last half-century. Chapter 5 discusses the spread of this system to Eastern Europe and its performance and adaptation in these new environments. Chapter 6 reinterprets this experience as an economic development strategy in relation to the standard difficulties of economic development, and also looks at China and Cuba in this light. Chapter 7 describes the revolution in the Communist understanding of economics that has begun to liberate it from the Marxian dogma and from Stalinist obscurantism, and Chapter 8 discusses the current struggles to 'reform' economies to improve their worsening performance. The last chapter speculates in a longer run mood about the direction in which these changes may be leading them, and about the possible nature of the socialist economic system of the future.
