The USSR Before the Fall

This essay appraises the scholarly findings on the level of consumption and output in the USSR, compared with that in the West.

Predictably, the results have been controversial, but properly viewed they still provide illuminating perspective on the extraordinary events that have lately transpired in the USSR
