Evsei Liberman
Evsei Liberman (Russian: Евсей Либерман; 2 december 1897 — 11 november 1983) was a Soviet economist who lived in Slavuta (Ukraine) and in Moscow (Russia).
He was a teacher at the Institutes of Work and Technology and at the University of Kharkov. He proposed implanting new methods of planning based on the principles of new democratic centralism. His dissertation took form in "Plan, benefit and prisms" published in Pravda (1962). This became a basis for the Soviet reforms of 1965.
His most outstanding works were "Structure of the balance of an industrial company" (1948), "Means to raise the profitability of the socialistic companies" (1956), "Analysis of the use of resources" (1963), "Plan and benefits for the Soviet economy" (1965) and "Planning of the socialism" (1967).
Liberman was very influential. His economic reforms successfully revived the economy of the Soviet Union during the 1960s. Liberman's reform proposals were also implemented in East Germany. It has been argued that if he had not influenced reform in these countries, the economic situation would have deteriorated drastically, as the standard of living and the economy were stagnating.
