| Tiivistelmä: | The author answers the questions why the Soviet command economy did collapse and whether command economies are intrinsically unstable. The author argues that stability of a command system is conditional. The author will seek to identify some general conditions that may demarcate the command economy's 'good' and 'bad' states, and some particular circumstances that may have pushed Soviet institutions from one to the other. First the paper considers the nature of economic coercion in general and the Soviet command system in particular, and identifies some costs of coercion. Then it sets the command system in an historical context of twentieth- century trends in these costs. |
