Chapter 5 in Personal Consumption in the USSR and the USA, 1989, pp 33-42 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Now we will start looking more closely at the results of comparison for each group. As I already said, it is not easy to criticize this study and even more difficult to offer contrasting calculations. In this and the next six chapters, I try to give as broad a statistical picture of Soviet consumption in comparison with American as possible. Frequent references to and criticism of the authors’ data help me to quantify many statements. I by no means strive to seek out and demonstrate everything that is, in my opinion, not quite correct in the authors’ calculations. But using their results as a point of departure and modifying them, I can offer some quantitative estimates.
