Soviet economy - London Allen & Unwin 1983 - 452p.

This volume presents in revised form the proceedings of a conference held at Airlie House, Airlie, Virginia, October 23-25, 1980. The conference, which was sponsored and supported by grants from the National Council for Soviet and East European Research and the National Science Foundation, had as its theme the long-term prospec tive growth of the Soviet economy.

It is now more than 60 years since the Bolshevik Revolution, and over 50 years since the initiation of Soviet Russia's First Five Year Plan. On the eve of that plan, the Soviet economy had more or less completed its recovery from the losses inflicted by World War I, two revolutions and a civil war. Under the plan and its early successors, the Soviet government proceeded to transform the USSR from a relatively backward and still overwhelmingly agricultural country into one in which industry would be predominant.
