Economic Trends in Soviet Russia (1930) examines the economic position of the USSR a decade after the Revolution. It displayed the contradictions evident in an economy that had been isolated from the world economy while undergoing great changes, and where the government was taking control over all aspects of economic life. Huge factories had been established, yet the countryside remained pre-industrial; and while the economy was in theory entirely under State control, in practice currency crises, crises of production, gluts, crises of demand, pressed hard on one another’s heels, and were renewed again and again by the spontaneous play of economic forces.

This book sheds light on ​the Soviet economic system, which claimed the eventual abolition of money, collapsed following a monetary turmoil. It argues that the cause of the economic collapse was embedded in the design of the economic system. The Soviet economic system restricted the market, but continued to use fiat money. Consequently, it faced the question for which no feasible answer seemed to exist: how to manage fiat money without data and information generated by the market? Using Soviet data newly available from the archives, the book evaluates the performance of the components of monetary management mechanism, discovers the continuous accumulation of open and secret government debts, and quantitatively analyzes the relationship between economic growth and the money supply to support the argument. The book concludes that the Soviet economic collapse marked the end of the long history of Soviet monetary mismanagement.

It is directed to the general public of economists, and therefore contains a section on sources of economic information about the Soviet Union and several subsections, such as the one describing the basics of the operation of the Soviet system, that are only indirectly related to the main issue. Contents: Introduction; Availability and Reliability of Information; The Growth Record; Structural Changes; The Socialist System and its Growth Strategy; R & D and Technological Change; The R & D Sector; Why did Growth Rates Decline?; Production Function Estimates; Evaluation and Conclusion-or, can The Trend be Reversed?
