Labor Productivity in Soviet and American Industry
The study, based largely on extensive research in Soviet sources, estimates prewar trends of labor productivity in a number of Soviet industries; compares their levels with corresponding industries in the United States; and makes some interesting conjectures regarding underlying factors and future trends. The book is well documented, and is a handy reference for data previously unavailable to readers who do not command Russian.
