Possibilities and Limitations

The editors have received a number of comments on V. Kollontai's article on planning problems in the developing countries (see 1969, No. 7). In this issue, we hear from G. Smirnov (African Institute), L. Artsishevskii (Economics Institute of the USSR Gosplan), and I. Aleshina (Leningrad University). Other responses reaching the editors will be published in subsequent issues.
