Perestroika was acclaimed in the west but brought empty shelves in the east. Why Perestroika Failed argues that this was inevitable because it was not based on a sound understanding of market and political processes. Even if the perestroika programme had been carried out to the full it would have failed to bring about the structural changes necessa

A year ago the world was in a state of euphoria over Gorbachev as a result of his startling foreign policy decisions to pull the Soviet military out of Afghanistan, allow the demise of Communism in Eastern Europe, and give the green light to the reunification of Germany. Chancellor Kohl and others in the West proposed that the West extend a new Marshall Plan to the Soviet Union to ensure the success of Gorbachev's economic reform process "perestroika." Twelve months later, in the wake of Gorbachev's bloody crackdown in the Baltic and increasing reliance on conservative, anti-reform forces, some in the West have reversed course and called for taking away Gorbachev's Nobel prize and for a cutoff in all economic aid to the USSR. Gorbachev launched "perestroika" to revitalize the USSR's stagnating and technologically backward economy. Six years of "perestroika," however, have only made the bad economic situation Gorbachev inherited in 1985 even worse. Gorbachev has steadfastly resisted market reforms culminating in his rejection last October of the bold "500-day" Shatalin plan for a rapid transition to a market economy. The failure to implement market reforms in the Soviet Union stems mainly from Gorbachev's firm conviction in Communism, the tremendous resistance from the nomenklatura, and from the dismay of the Soviet populace. In the short term, the West appears to have very little direct leverage to encourage market reforms in the USSR. However, an indirect approach involving additional Western economic assistance to Eastern Europe, channeling aid to the reform-minded republics, and letting the International Monetary Fund take the lead in insisting on conditionality for further Western financial assistance could promote the Soviet reform process.

Mikhail Gorbachev and Zdenek Mlynar were friends for half a century, since they first crossed paths as students in 1950. Although one was a Russian and the other a Czech, they were both ardent supporters of communism and socialism. One took part in laying the groundwork for and carrying out the Prague spring; the other opened a new political era in Soviet world politics. In 1993 they decided that their conversations might be of interest to others and so they began to tape-record them. This book is the product of that “thinking out loud” process. It is an absorbing record of two friends trying to explain to one another their views on the problems and events that determined their destinies. From reminiscences of their starry-eyed university days to reflections on the use of force to “save socialism” to contemplation of the end of the cold war, here is a far more candid picture of Gorbachev than we have ever seen before.

For half a century the Soviet economy was inefficient but stable. In the late 1980s, to the surprise of nearly everyone, it suddenly collapsed. Why did this happen? And what role did Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's economic reforms play in the country's dissolution? In this groundbreaking study, Chris Miller shows that Gorbachev and his allies tried to learn from the great success story of transitions from socialism to capitalism, Deng Xiaoping's China. Why, then, were efforts to revitalize Soviet socialism so much less successful than in China? Making use of never-before-studied documents from the Soviet politburo and other archives, Miller argues that the difference between the Soviet Union and China--and the ultimate cause of the Soviet collapse--was not economics but politics. The Soviet government was divided by bitter conflict, and Gorbachev, the ostensible Soviet autocrat, was unable to outmaneuver the interest groups that were threatened by his economic reforms. Miller's analysis settles long-standing debates about the politics and economics of perestroika, transforming our understanding of the causes of the Soviet Union's rapid demise.
