ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the legal aspects of planned distribution. Each Soviet economic entity distributes compensation to its employees for their labor and makes payment in some form to the state for its capital. The planning of distribution has certain features in common with the planning of production. The planning of distribution is implemented by different agencies depending on its objects and its goals. In relations between legal entities, Arbitrazh performs the function of implementing unplanned distribution. Planned distribution serves the purpose of maintaining and strengthening the economic monopoly of the ruling elite. Planned distribution as an expression of the economic monopoly of the ruling summit has been developed through a unified system of planning agencies and by means of interdependent forms of planning procedures. In relations between Soviet organizations and Soviet citizens, administrative distribution is employed far more widely than one might suspect.
