		Remedie tegen deze misstanden was de rechten van de onderneming te vergroten, de macht van de centrale instanties te beperken, een groothandelsmarkt te ontwikkelen, de prijzen vrij te laten en de macht van Gossnab af te schaffen.

		But the decision-making was shifted back to the central administrative organs, and that was the undoing of the reform: Economic instruments were little by little converted into administrative ones; the command mode became even more safely ensconced than before.
		The emphasis inexorably shifted from material incentives for workers toward more rigid control by proliferating bureaucratic structures, super-ministries like Gossnab (State Committee for Material and Technical Supplies), Gostsen (State Committee for Prices), and Gostekhnika (State Committee for Science and Technology).
		All these bureaucratic games had little bearing on the lives of ordinary people, except that the intelligentsia might discuss, at nocturnal sessions in their kitchens, vague rumors of, say, the rivalry between Premier Kosygin and General Secretary Brezhnev, to whom the very word "reform" was anathema.

		Distribution of goods and capital was done along the lines of Communist party decisions rather than consumer and entrepreneur preferences.
		Information distortions for effective market-based production and investment were so big that the only rationality that existed was the rationality of arbitrary decisions of few authorized institutions (for example Gosplan, Gossnab branch ministries).
		At the same time rational expectations were quite easy to form as the framework of the centralized decision making process operated under quite rigid rules.

		Western companies, etc. It would appear that these two aspects of the director's views and behavior—their pro-State economic attitudes and their private business activities—contradict one another.
		There are no contradictions here, however, since in talking about a "strong State," the directors are not advocating a return to the Soviet State in the form of Gosplan (the USSR State Planning Committee) and Gossnab (the USSR State Supplying Committee).
		Rather, they want a rational State economic policy, order in the legislative sphere, order in financial payments between State and enterprises, responsibility of the State for its obligations, etc. Besides, they need State support—sometimes less in terms of financial support than of organizational, information, and even moral support.

		This general point is confirmed by Yun (1988: 55), who states that as of the mid-1980s Gosplan was able to draw up material balances for only 2,000 goods in its annual plans.
		When the calculations of Gossnab and the industrial ministries are included, the number of products tracked rises to around 200,000, still far short of the 24 million items produced in the Soviet economy at the time.
		This discrepancy meant that it was ``possible for enterprises to fulfill their plans as regards the nomenclature of items they have been directed to produce, failing at the same time to create products immediately needed by specific users''.
