Red Plenty
Red Plenty is a 2010 book by Francis Spufford on the Soviet economy of the 1950s and 1960s. A mix of history and fiction, the book approaches this topic through the viewpoints of more than a dozen characters (some based on real people, some wholly fictional), interspersed with essays (and ending with 53 pages of endnotes, including references to Michael Ellman's Planning Problems in the USSR).
