Opis

This book demonstrates how economic practice in the communist countries of Eastern Europe was shaped by interplay among planners, managers and Party apparatchiks. The book argues that shortages, chronic over-capacities and erroneous planning decisions were the natural outcome of attempts to adapt the basic laws of economics to ideology.
