Kоsуgin`s Rеfоrm: Rеvоlutiоn or Evоlutiоn? (With Rеfеrеnсе tо Yu. М. Gоlаnd аnd А. D. Nеkipеlоv Аrtiсlе)
How radical was the idea of Soviet economic reforms in 1965 and what were the reasons for its failure? Whether they consist in the "organic insolvency" of the planning system or in the inability of reformers to use its potential in the new environment? The authors` position on those matters raised in the controversial article by J.M. Golland and A.D. Nekipelov "Kosygin`s reform: a missed opportunity or mirage?" (published in Russian Economic Journal - 2010-№ 6) fundamentally different from the position of the initiators of the discussion.
