Khrushchev happened and the USSR shifted its focus from producing industrial capital to further industrialize towards producing consumer treats

Do you have any good sources for reading more on this part (the transition away from industry)?

The clearest thing I can remember is that Socialism Betrayed: Behind the Collapse of the Soviet Union despite mostly being a blow-by-blow of the reforms and political situation of the 80s talks a bit about the further-industrialization vs consumer-goods camps in the 50s. I haven't come across anything that goes into the same sort of detail about what the actual material policies and conditions at any given point in the USSR were as, say, Sorghum and Steel does for China up to the 70s (caveat for Sorghum and Steel: it was written by ultras who are vocally anti-CPC, but it's still the most nuanced and sympathetic piece I've ever seen about China because of how much it goes into detail about why this or that decision was made and what the material conditions behind it were).
