The general policies on management improvement are closely scrutinized by these bodies. the leaders of the Party and the State. and the Soviet press. In the recent years this work has acquired special importance. The party and economic management of all levels. scientists. and experts are faced with the task of introducing. in a short period of time. radical changes in the plan ning and operating. creating thereby a holistic management sys tem based on scientific recommendations and effective practical experience.

Book Description
"Spufford cunningly maps out a literary genre of his own . . . Freewheeling and fabulous." —The Times (London) Strange as it may seem, the gray, oppressive USSR was founded on a fairy tale. It was built on the twentieth-century magic called "the planned economy," which was going to gush forth an abundance of good things that the lands of capitalism could never match. And just for a little while, in the heady years of the late 1950s, the magic seemed to be working. Red Plenty is about that moment in history, and how it came, and how it went away; about the brief era when, under the rash leadership of Khrushchev, the Soviet Union looked forward to a future of rich communists and envious capitalists, when Moscow would out-glitter Manhattan and every Lada would be better engineered than a Porsche. It's about the scientists who did their genuinely brilliant best to make the dream come true, to give the tyranny its happy ending. Red Plenty is history, it's fiction, it's as ambitious as Sputnik, as uncompromising as an Aeroflot flight attendant, and as different from what you were expecting as a glass of Soviet champagne.

Book Description
This book mainly talks about why and how China has chosen socialism as well as major issues that have served to accelerate its transition from a new-democratic country into a socialist society. It focuses on Sino-Soviet relations and the Soviet assistance in China’s economic development, national defense industry, science, technology, education, and culture in the early years of the People’s Republic of China. It reviews the difficulties in China’s economic recovery and the strategy of overall learning from the Soviet Union over that same period. It elaborates on the strategy of heavy-industry-oriented development and the collectivization of agriculture for China’s transition to socialism. Using abundant historical examples, it will not only enable readers to better understand the formulation and establishment of China’s political, economic, and social systems, but also provide chances for international comparison of different models of development. It will hopefully contribute to promoting mutual understanding between China and western countries and boosting more inclusive development across the world in economic, cultural and social terms. In particular, it is of a significant reference value for researchers, teachers, and students engaged or interested in political science, economics, sinology, history, cross-cultural communication, etc. It is also recommended for those who are interested in China and the Chinese development.
