Soviet system will endure says study on 1980s outlook
A U S study based on 35 Soviet specialists from U S universities finds the USSR faces deep economic and social strains but will mainly muddle through without major collapse. It cites archaic prices, centralized agriculture, rising wages lagging prices, meat shortages, heavy subsidies, and a shifting population balance as key challenges. The project led by Indiana University historian Robert Byrnes produced After Brezhnev to be published by Indiana University Press.

The text notes options like raising prices, decentralizing the economy, or boosting labor productivity by moving workers from inefficient plants. It argues the Kremlin, even under Yuri Andropov, would avoid sharp price hikes to prevent unrest seen in Poland in 1960. Decentralization could prompt political demands, and a supply-demand labor system would breach the social contract safeguarding job security.
