An Economic History of the U.S.S.R. is Alec Nove’s concise study of Soviet economic development, tracing Russia’s transformation from war communism and the New Economic Policy through Stalin’s forced industrialisation, collectivisation, five-year plans and the later reforms of the post-war Soviet state. Written in clear academic prose, it remains a useful introduction to the economic history of the Soviet Union and the forces that shaped twentieth-century communist society.
