From the New York Times: `Yegor Gaidar, the Man Who Killed the Command Economy`

Contrary to the NYT headline, I don’t believe Yegor Gaidar really killed the command economy, nor did he think he did. It killed itself.
May I suggest anyone interested in why the USSR died read Gaidar’s excellent Collapse of an Empire? It’s a great book, by a great man.
