Although the history of centrally planned economies has been widely
studied, the development of socialist thinking on the subject has
remained largely uncharted. In this 1991 work, Pekka Sutela
presents a detailed analysis of Soviet economic thought and theory.
Dr Sutela traces the competing currents in the Marxist tradition of
socialist economies from the Revolution to the present day. In
particular he shows how the Gorbachev economic reform programme of
1987 rose from the work of Nobel Prize economist L. V. Kantorovich
and his followers. However, this programme failed and the author
explains in some detail why this happened. Since then, Soviet
economists have tried to abandon their traditional theory of
central planning and move along the path and long established
contacts with leading Soviet economists, Pekka Sutela is able to
show how Soviet economic thinking has moved from dogmatism through
reformism to pragmatism.
