The inside story of the political collpase of the Soviet Union is
far better understood than the course of economic and social
disintegration. In order to capture the story, the editors compiled
a list of questions which they addressed to former top Soviet
officials and economic and other policy advisors (both Soviet and
foreign) who were privy not only to data on the functioning of the
Soviet economy but also to the internal policy debate during the
1980s. This volume assembles the Informants' analyses of key issues
and the turning points, and weaves them into a compelling history
of systemic collapse. Among the topics investigated are: economic
policies in the 1980s; the standard of living: the reliability of
Soviet statistics; Gosplan's projections for the economy to the
year 2000; was the arms race starving the civilian economy? the
role of ideology in supporting the functioning of an economic
system; the party's participating in economic management; the
influence of foreign advisors; the struggle over a transition
program; the functioning and collapse of the supply system, the
CMEA, and the foreign trade system.
