Soviet Quantitative History (New Approaches to Social Science History)

By Don K. Rowney

This volume presents the result of the efforts of Soviet and American scholars at direct co-operation. The result is a work which will be of great interest to quantitative historians in the West, and Western historians who specialise in the study of the USSR. Essays focus both on methodological issues and substantive issues. The substantive issues focus on Agro-Economic History, Social History, and Textual Provenance. The end result is a thorough study of facts about pre- and post-revolutionary Russia (many of them previously unearthed) as well as an examination of the methods used by Soviet qualitative historians in interpreting statistics.
