The Transition from State Socialism to Capitalism in Russia

这是一个关于俄罗斯从国家社会主义向资本主义过渡的研究。将对科米地区的木材、煤炭、天然气和军事工业进行个案研究，以审查一种假设，即过渡夸大了旧经济秩序的病态，导致一种商业资本主义形式。还有一种假设是，随着党国的崩溃，垄断加剧，物物交换增加，工人对生产的控制增加。目前的休克疗法政策，包括稳定货币、价格自由化、降低关税和私有化，可能不会导致现代资本主义，但可能造成一种商业资本主义形式，可能对经济发展造成障碍。这项研究将对我们理解国家社会主义下的旧经济制度可能对经济组织的变革构成一系列障碍的方式做出重大贡献，尽管这种变革得到了广泛的政治支持。

This is a study of the transition from state socialism to capitalism in Russia. Case studies of the wood, coal, gas and military industries in the Komi region will be undertaken to examine the hypothesis that the transition exaggerates pathologies of the old economic order, leading towards a form of merchant capitalism. It is also hypothesized, that with the collapse of the party state, there is an intensification of monopoly, an increase in barter, and increased worker control over production. Current policies of shock therapy, involving stabilizing currency, price liberalization, bringing down tariffs and privatization may not lead to modern capitalism but may create a form of merchant capitalism which may create obstacles to economic development. This study will make a significant contribution to our understanding of the ways in which the old economic system under state socialism may present a series of obstacles to change in economic organization in spite of widespread political support for such changes.
