Abstract: Abstract For the purpose of this paper I am assuming that the basic outline of the reform package is known. It has, for example, been set out by A. Aganbegyan in his Economics of Perestroika, to which I wrote the preface. It has been the subject of many speeches by Gorbachev. There have been a whole number of well-publicized decrees and declarations: on small-group and family contract and leasing in agriculture, on the state enterprise and full khozraschet, on cooperatives, on foreign trade, on reform of prices and of material-technical supply. We can all agree that, as and when these basically desirable and progressive measures are implemented, this will be a truly radical reform, and not yet another half-hearted attempt at ‘further perfecting’ a basically unchanged system.
