Abstract:Why has the state socialist system collapsed? This paper argues that the reasons are traceable to the institutional design of state socialism, which provides no capacity for self-transformation, depletes developmental potential, and curtails system capacity. The state socialist system lacks the ability to "reform itself" in order to improve its adaptive capacity in rapidly changing external and internal environments. All actions meant to fulfil societal aspirations.
