Evsei Liberman

Evsei Grigorievich Liberman (Russian: Евсей Григорьевич Либерман, pronounced [jɪfˈsʲej ɡrʲɪˈɡorʲjɪvʲɪtɕ lʲɪbʲɪrˈman], Ukrainian: Овсій Григорович Ліберман; 2 October 1897, – 11 November 1981) was a Soviet economist who lived in Kharkov, Ukrainian SSR.

Liberman was born in Slavuta, Russian Empire, in a wealthy Jewish family.

He proposed new methods of economic planning based on the principles of new democratic centralism.

His most notable works were "Structure of the balance of an industrial company" (1948), "Means to raise the profitability of the socialist companies" (1956), "Analysis of the use of resources" (1963), "Plan and benefits for the Soviet economy" (1965) and "Planning of the socialism" (1967).

Reforms inspired by Liberman unsuccessfully attempted to revitalize the Soviet economy during the 1960s.
