This book provides a comprehensive survey of Soviet economic
development from 1917 to 1965 in the context of the
pre-revolutionary economy. In these years the Soviet Union
negotiated the first stages of modern industrialisation and then,
after the defeat of Nazi Germany and its allies, emerged as one of
the two world superpowers. This was also the first attempt to
construct a planned socialist order. These developments resulted in
great economic achievements at great human cost. Using the results
of recent Russian and Western research, Professor Davies discusses
the inherent faults and strengths of the system, and pays
particular attention to the major controversies. Was the Russian
Revolution doomed to failure from the outset? Could the mixed
economy of the 1920s have led to a democratic socialist economy?
What was the influence of Soviet economic development on the rest
of the world?
