biography

Aganbegjan, who was descended from Armenian and Hungarian ancestors, began studying economics at the State Institute of Economics in Moscow after attending school . After completing his studies, he was later appointed professor at the Novosibirsk State University . From there he moved from 1967 to 1985 as director to the Institute for Industrial Production in Novosibirsk , where he and his colleagues designed models for the management of the national economy of the Soviet Union at the end of the 1980s .

As chairman of several national committees and councils, he was finally personal advisor in economic issues of Mikhail Gorbachev , whom he previously by its economic and social policy consultant Tatjana Zaslavskaia had met. In this function he was one of Gorbachev's closest collaborators in his reform programs and thus had an early influence on the perestroika that was under way . As part of a Soviet- US-American exchange program of the Esalen Institute , he came to the USA in 1988 as one of the most influential Soviet economists to draw attention to the necessities for restructuring the Soviet economy. At the end of 1989, however, he increasingly lost influence.

In addition to Saslawskaja, he is also a member of the editorial board of the sociological journal Der Bote der Societal Opinion .
