Edited by R. W. Davies, Mark Harrison, S. G. Wheatcroft: The Economic Transformation of the Soviet Union, 1913-1945 (1994) .RAR (use zamzar to convert to pdf if necessary) The book carefully and painstakingly examines Soviet successes and failures using the dense Soviet statistical record and the alternative estimates of Russian economists. The contributors, all leading authorities, consider major sectors of the economy, foreign economic relations, and the war economies of 1914-1921 and 1941-1945. The major controversies are presented and reconsidered. How strong was the Tsarist economy? Did the mixed economy of the 1920s succeed? Did the Soviet economy overtake the major industrialised powers between the wars? How important were the defence industries? How extensive were the population losses due to war and repression? -- source link
