This book contains a full translation of a major but little-known
Soviet work on Soviet national income accounts for a crucial stage
in the social and economic transformation of the Soviet economy
from 1928 to 1930. These were years of mass collectivisation and
the launching of the Soviet industrialisation drive. The USSR was
perhaps unique in having a well-developed statistical service able
to record the detailed changes in economic relationships that were
taking place at this time. The translation is accompanied by three
introductory articles which explain the structure and contents of
these materials, what new light these materials throw on the
development of the Soviet economy in this period and describe the
significance of these materials for the history of Soviet
statistics and planning. Amongst other questions this evidence
casts some doubt on recent attempts to show that Soviet
industrialisation resulted in a change in the net flow of goods
between industry and agriculture, in favour of agriculture. It also
shows that considerable attempts were made by some influential
statisticians and planners in the early 1930s to analyse the
relationship between different branches and sectors of the economy.
In a foreword Professor Sir Richard Stone sets the achievement of
the construction of these materials in the context of the history
of Western works on national income accounts.
