I honestly find studying Soviet economics fascinating. There is a ton of somewhat accurate documentation from the Soviet government and interpretation for trying to improve management techniques and production, but not really able to due to general corruption, compounding delays/difficulties, and indifference from many levels of management.
Probably the most interesting thought process that occurred in a lot of the state stores was sort of branching shortages.
E.g., I cannot buy can of mayonnaise because it is no longer in stock even though I have the currency to purchase. Therefore, I will buy additional coffee because I can then trade coffee with someone for mayonnaise. Many other people have the same idea and now there is a shortage of mayonnaise and coffee. People then buy additional sugar.
ANYWAY, it's great and all to be in the USSR if you live in a major city and you don't need anything of substantial complexity.

Well, management is management and Taylorist principles were popular with the USSR.
The real problem was just a lack of necessary honesty throughout the system to keep it afloat.
When a free market enterprise continually lies about what it produces, how much it does, what quality, and at what cost it goes out of business when the actual numbers get called. The USSR did eventually simply go out of business.
Jayden Morris
The shortage in the late 80s were largely attributed to the later reforms during the period of perestroika, a cataclysm of a half-baked economic transition. For example, in 1987, the authorities abolished the state monopoly on foreign trade, and then many enterprises began to send their goods abroad, earning much more on this than if they were bought by Soviet citizens. retailer.ru/torgovlja-na-sluzhbe-socializma-universam-ili-popytka-sovetskogo-supermarketa/

Yes, but you're also discounting the fact that rationing continued on a huge swath of consumer goods throughout the life of the USSR especially outside of major population centers where good delivery was of lower priority.
