Soviet economics development and structure

In these sixty fateful years, the Soviet Union has wiped out illiteracy, eradicated unemployment, abolished distinctions on the basis of sex, race, religion and nationality, and banished poverty and dreaded diseases. Today every Soviet citizen is covered by comprehensive social security system which provides for various pension schemes, free education and medical services, subsidised housing etc.
The significance of the Soviet economy for the world at large lies in the fact that it provides an example of crisis-free economy where a depression, inflation and erosion of real incomes are unknown.
The book is divided into two parts. The first traces the history of Soviet economic development; part two describes the structure of the Soviet economy. It discusses the process of planning and investment, the structure of industry, agriculture, incomes, prices, domestic and foreign trade, money and banking, trade unions and budgetary practices.
