I read that alot of Brezhnev's policies were a return of capitalist elements, such as allowing economic enterprises to "fail" if they were unprofitable and making housing more market-like.

In a vacuum, I don't like these policies, but maybe they make more sense in context, I'm not sure. I know some limited reforms in the housing market were helpful.
