Thomas Herbert Naylor (May 30, 1936-December 12, 2012) was an American economist and professor. He was a Professor Emeritus of Economics at Duke University, the author of thirty books. He began his career at Duke University as an Assistant Professor of Economics in 1964, teaching economics, management science, and computer science, retiring in 1993. Naylor was president of a computer software firm with Fortune 500 clients worldwide. He also was an international management consultant advising major clients in over thirty countries. He turned to political analysis after trips to the Soviet Union in the 1980s which led him to publicly predicted future political changes there. His articles appeared in The New York Times, International Herald Tribune, Los Angeles Times, Christian Science Monitor, The Nation, and Business Week. He has appeared on CNN, Fox News, BBC and others. This intriguing work examines the effect on the U.S. and the Soviet Union of making the East-West conflict the driving force behind foreign policy for nearly fifty years, and looks at the recent changes and common problems faced by these two superpowers. Derived from a review in Choice on 1991-12: A pointed economic critique of the Cold War's debilitating effects on both US and Soviet society and technology, this book constitutes a useful reminder of weaknesses even in the "winning" capitalist world. The book makes compelling reading because many names and institutions are treated and complex networks revealed. The work is a combination of management economics, polemics, and suggested reforms. The discussion is noteworthy in the revelation that perestroika planning predated Gorbachev. With examples of American unwillingness to bolster Moscow reformers, Naylor challenges the reader in a way too seldom seen in today's instant analyses of Soviet failures. F. S.
