Thus far perestroika has not produced tangible results for the average Soviet citizen. Shmelev and Popov, proponents of economic restructuring, are Moscow-based economists. In this detailed primer for serious students of the Soviet economy, they talk about "the social-class structure" of the supposedly classless U.S.S.R., and boldly advocate redistribution of power from bureaucrats to work collectives and the people. Harking back to Lenin's "deviationist" New Economic Policy (NEP), which permitted private enterprise, the authors set forth proposals designed to revitalize agriculture and industry. As Richard Ericson of Columbia University suggests in a preface, readers can use this text as a roadmap to watch for milestones and pitfalls as perestroika evolves.
