Abstract
We can now return to our introductory questions in search of general conclusions. First, a static analysis is needed to establish the characteristics of the functioning of a small private sector in a Soviet-type economy. Second, by examining the dynamic features, cycles and trends, we shall attempt to answer why private enterprise has survived. Since our aim is to find out what is typical of a Soviet-type economy, we shall investigate what the private sectors have in common, wherein and why they differ.
