Perestroika was acclaimed in the west but brought empty shelves in the east. Why Perestroika Failed argues that this was inevitable because it was not based on a sound understanding of market and political processes. Even if the perestroika programme had been carried out to the full it would have failed to bring about the structural changes necessary to transform what was the Soviet economy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`Within the recent wave of reflections on perestroika Boettke's book is inspired by the Hume-Hayek tradition, which is extremely well applied in the explanations of the structural weaknesses perestroika failed to overcome. Whether you agree or disagree with the arguments the book gives an excellent and consistent view on the topic.'- Slavo Radosevic, University of Sussex

Russia needed a Pinochet

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2020

Not worth the time or the money. The argument here is that Russia needed a Pinochet to force people to submit to private property for their own good. Meanwhile things were really so bad that none of the chaos could be blamed on shock therapy .
Russia had a Pinochet. His name was Boris Yeltsin. Backed by the nomenklatura who controlled assets and resources he did create a robust private property regime. The results were disastrous. Public proprty was passed tothe few, as reformers in the US advocated. The result was looting and decay.
