Подобный подход опирается на опыт последних лет советской экономики, когда был ослаблен контроль за денежным обращением, эмиссия не сопровождалось мерами по укркплению рубля, а её масштабы не согласовывались с динамикой цен.
I've found "scales and scopes" for масштабы bun neither feels or sounds right. Can anyone help?

scale
"Scale" would work well enough (but in the singular, not the plural), if you amend the sentence a bit:
"....the scale of these measures was not coordinated..."

А почему Вам не нравится "scope"? По-моему вполне подходит в данном контексте.

...its value was not pegged to price fluctuations...
That seems to be the sense of scaling here, as the complaint is that the ruble remained constant and prices varied....

A less literal view is that no effort was made to revalue to ruble to track cost of living....

... and its both scope and value were not coordinated with the price movement.
Here "scope" is very right word; however, I would add "value", too:-)
