Primary accumulation in the Soviet transition
介绍了苏联原始积累概念的历史背景，指出劳动力动员比产品动员更关键，并分析了该过程在推动公有化和工业化的同时，也导致了经济损失和强制机构的扩散。
The Soviet background to the idea of primary socialist accumulation is presented. The mobilisation of labour power and of products into public sector investment from outside are shown to have been the two original forms of the concept. In Soviet primary accumulation the mobilisation of labour power was apparently more decisive than the mobilisation of products. The primary accumulation process had both intended and unintended results. Intended results included bringing most of the economy into the public sector, and industrialisation of the economy as a whole. Unintended results included substantial economic losses, and the proliferation of coercive institutions damaging to attainment of the ultimate goal ‐ the building of a communist society.
