Abstract

Over the last 30 years centrally planned economies, also known as Soviet-type or socialist economies or as instances of realized socialism, have often undertaken and to some extent implemented reform projects for the progressive expansion of the scope of markets at the expense of direct central allocation. From Yugoslavia to China, from Hungary to Poland and the Soviet Union, none of these economies with the possible exception of Albania has escaped this process; the very frequency of reform attempts indicates both the necessity and difficulty of changing the principles of operation of socialist planning, rather than simply introducing marginal improvements. Reform projects have included varying degrees of enterprise decisional autonomy, contractual relations instead of central allocation of materials and foreign exchange, direct access to foreign trade, workers’ self-management, and reprivatization.

Witness an interview with Leonid Abalkin in East European Markets, February 20, 1987, where specific reference to the Hungarian and Bulgarian model is made, and an interview with Abel Aganbegyan on Italian TV on March 15, 1987. See also Petrakov (1987), who specifically indicates the replacement of automatic credit with enterprise creditworthiness, a time structure of interest rates, and profit-oriented and competing “special purpose” banks, though still subject to the “leading role” of Gosbank.

Joan Robinson used to say that the reward of abstinence is first of all the ability to keep what one abstains from consuming.

See Articles 93 and 116 of the Aktiengesetz. Article 404 treats any break of confidentiality by bank representatives as liable to prosecution as a criminal offence. I am grateful to Felix RitzRoy for drawing my attention to these norms and for providing the next references quoted from an unpublished paper by FitzRoy and Kornelius Kraft.
