I have a question, where did Perestroika get the Soviet Union? I think that answers if the US should follow that example.

The perestroika firstly got the Soviet into a massive hole (as any reform as widereaching as it would) but within a decade they were (in general) far better off economically than before the perestroika. It allowed their economy to grow.
