ABSTRACT
A Guide to the Socialist Economies was published in 1990. Covering fourteen communist countries (accounting, in mid-1988, for 1.6 billion out of a world population of 5.1 billion), the final amendments to the book had been made in early October 1989. The book was fortunate to receive some very generous comments:
Jeffries has produced a useful reference guide that will doubtless become a standard in the field and a valuable addition to academic libraries.
