An Economic Spurt That Failed: Four Lectures in Austrian History
Time Horizon in Russian Literature
The substantive portion of this paper is intended to be incorporated later into a comprehensive study of time horizon in economic history. Hence an elucidation of the concept and of its main aspects should precede the presentation and interpretation of the relevant material that has been drawn from a scrutiny of Russian literature in the nineteenth century, that is to say, from novels and plays. In this connection, it will have to be explained wh…
Soviet Policies Versus International Cartels: Four Historical Case Studies
When this study was originally prepared nearly thirty years ago, it was part of a larger government memorandum. As such it was written within a framework of exploring problems of economic relations with the USSR after the war, with the expectation of a large and mutually beneficial trade in mind. At the time, I presented a general analysis of these problems in a longish pamphlet. I was unable, however, in that publication to touch upon the proble…

Soviet Russia: Literature and Life
For nearly forty years, with great regularity, the late Vera Aleksandrova contributed articles on current Soviet literature to the Socialist Courier–the émigré organ of the Menshevik party. Now her husband, S. M. Schwarz, has selected from the large number of those contributions about 120 pieces and has published them in the original Russian under the sponsorship of the Russian Institute of Columbia University.The result is a long, very significa…

Continuity in History and Other Essays
The Discipline and I
Having had no previous experience in giving presidential addresses, I spent most of the last year on a study of such addresses, delivered before our own and other scholarly associations. The conclusion of my research was that most of those addresses could be readily classified under one of two headings. The subject matter was either "The Discipline and I" or "The Discipline, Its Past, Present, and Future." Faced with this alternative, I found the…

Economic Backwardness in Historical Perspective
This essay attempts to explore the nature of economic backwardness and the stages of its evolution. It challenges the traditional view that all advanced countries once passed through the same or similar stages of development. The author argues that the experience of the more recently developed countries differs significantly from that of the early starters. Latecomers face different opportunities and constraints, including the pressure to industr…

Notes on the Rate of Industrial Growth in Italy, 1881–1913
This paper represents an attempt to summarize the first stages of a research project, the completion of which is still remote. Its purpose is to pose one or two basic problems and to indicate the directions along which the answers may lie. It is obvious that in the decades following its political unification Italy's economy remained very backward in relation not only to that of England, but also to the economies of industrially advancing countrie…
The Rate of Industrial Growth in Russia Since 1885
The main purpose of this paper is to compare the rates of industrial A growth in various periods of Russian history from the middle of the eighties until the end of the interwar period and to describe briefly the specific factors that promoted or obstructed the process of industrialization of the country. While no definitive conclusions are reached, some of the similarities and differences between industrial developments before and after 1914 are…

The Changeability of a Dictatorship
The following reflections have been occasioned by the Twenty-second Congress of the Communist Party of the USSR. Their purpose is to try to grasp the nature and to gauge the extent of the change between the Russia of today and that of Stalin's time. Naturally, no more can be done within the scope of a brief paper than to indicate some of the areas that may be relevant in this connection and to arrive at some provisional conclusions. In looking fo…
Reflections on Soviet Novels
There is every likelihood that future historians of the Russian novel will praise the Soviet period for the record number of volumes produced and blame it for an equally unprecedented decline in artistic standards. Yet one may hope that the twenty-first-century critic, in fairness to an unhappy past, will not overlook a redeeming feature of the Soviet novel, i.e., its considerable anthropological value. The present reflections about a few recent …

THE preface by Marcelle Gaetan Pirou to Charles Bettelheim's L'Aconomie Sovietique ' announces that le lecteur sera certainement frappe de la sobriete et l'impartialite de ce volume. This reader feels that this prediction may have been too rash. If he was struck at all, it was by the light touch which distinguishes M. Bettelheim's treatment of statistical information and of problems of economic analysis. The long book is replete with statistical …

Soviet Heavy Industry: A Dollar Index of Output, 1927/28-1937
THE purpose of this note is to communicate in summary form the results of an attempt to measure the growth of output in Soviet heavy industry. The study has been conducted at Harvard in the years I949-54 under the auspices of The RAND Corporation of Santa Monica, California. While the title chosen for this summary appeals to the author's ego, it is somewhat misleading. The underlying research did not cover the whole range of Soviet heavy industry…
