First published in 1973, Efficiency Criteria for Nationalised
Industries asks by what criteria we should judge the efficiency of
nationalised industries, what we mean by saying they should be run
commercially and where the public interest should lie. In this
work, Professor Nove believes we answer these questions incorrectly
due to a lack of understanding of economic theory and a desire to
relate real world economics to that of the text book. The author
says many economists, in a world of indivisibilities,
complementarities and systems, persist in thinking in terms of
one-dimensional, fragmented marginalism. Professor Nove, who is
known for his writings on the Soviet economy, raises many points
relevant to the East as well as the West. His work contributes to
the economics of socialism, while also making the case for greater
realism in economic theory in general.
