The economics of Soviet breakup

Before 1991, little was written or known of the individual states which made up the USSR, and their identities were subsumed into the Russian monolith. The Economics of Soviet Break-up analyses the effects of the break-up of the Soviet Union into fifteen independent states.

This up-to-date study is based on original research and extensive travel in the former Soviet Union. It meets an urgent need for information about this important subject and will be of interest to all students of the economics, politics and recent history of the Soviet republics.
