Abstract

My objectives in this talk this morning are: first to survey briefly the resources pattern of the U.S.S.R. - human, agri­cultural, and mineral; second, to summarize the basic economic policies of the U.S.S.R.; third, to indicate the rate of economic growth achieved over the past years, and fourth, to outline the salient capabilities, limitations and vulnerabilities inherent in Soviet economic potential.
