AB  - Gorbachev is in the process of not only abolishing central planning
and the privileges of the nomenclatura but also establishing broad
political dialogue and elections, and, most importantly, at least some
forms of private property and the price mechanism. He realises that
socioeconomic theories which abstract themselves from the observations
and needs of daily life have little relevance. Furthermore, he is aware
of the fact that a meaningful paradigm has to pay attention to society′s
values, i.e. to the interrelationship of personal initiative, morality,
law, government and public policy. Hence, Gorbachev advocates the
establishment of more favourable socioeconomic conditions to lay the
foundation for a “functional social market economy”, however
defined, in the Soviet Union.
