Franklyn D. Holzman, “An Estimate of the Tax Element in Soviet Bonds,” The American Economic Review, Vol. 47, No. 3 (June 1957): 390–393. See also: Franklyn D. Holzman, Soviet Taxation: The Fiscal and Monetary Problems of a Planned Economy (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1955), 200–208. Holzman revised his opinion of the mass subscription bonds issued after the 1947 currency reform, suggesting they no longer performed a tax function because of the rising value of the ruble. He claimed that even a winning bondholder was unlikely to recoup the interest or principle on his investment before 1947; however, by 1956, “even if he didn’t win a lottery, in twenty years he stood to recapture a real nest egg, possibly worth two or three times what he had paid for it.” See: Franklyn D. Holzman, “The Soviet Bond Hoax,” Problems of Communism, Vol. 6, No. 5 (1957): 49.
