Abstract

We survey recent research on the Soviet economy in the state, party, and military
archives of the Stalin era. The archives have provided rich new evidence on the economic
arrangements of a command system under a powerful dictator including
Stalin’s role in the making of the economic system and economic policy, Stalin’s accumulation
objectives and the constraints that limited his power to achieve them, the
limits to administrative allocation, the information flows and incentives that governed
the behavior of economic managers, the scope and significance of corruption and
market-oriented behavior, and the prospects for economic reform.
