Moscow: Progress Publishers, 1966. — 354 p.This book was written by a group of authors at the Moscow Financial Institute, directed by Professor D. A. Allakhverdyan. The basic questions of the theory of finance are examined in close association with practical experience in building communism and with the objectives of the economic policy of the Soviet state. An analysis is given of the essence and functions of Soviet finance and of the system of financial administration and its organisation. The subjects discussed by the authors include the Soviet budgetary system and methods of budgetary planning, state revenue and expenditure, state loans and state insurance, the finance of socialist enterprises and of branches of the economy, and state financial control. In giving an account of the nature and functioning of these economic categories and financial institutions in the conditions of a socialist economy, the authors also show their difference in principle from categories of the same name in the capitalist economic system.
