Having private enterprise that is heavily taxed is simply an easier way to solve balance of payments when importing heavy industrial equipment. I'm not convinced that the Soviet Union wouldn't have been able to keep up the same pace in developing heavy industry if the NEP had continued. Assuming GDP numbers mean anything in a socialist state this seems like a single trendline. Is it that much of a stretch that the growth rate during the NEP years could continue? No.

having private enterprises is simply inefficient

2021-02-21 13:47:47 UTC  

This is certainly no "miracle"

2021-02-21 13:47:48 UTC  

Now imma pull up the study that I agree with lololol

2021-02-21 13:47:51 UTC  

economics of scale prove it

2021-02-21 13:48:02 UTC  

show any that does prove your thesis

2021-02-21 13:48:08 UTC  

or give argument up from your memory idc

2021-02-21 13:48:12 UTC  

here's a paper btw that shows stalin's economic policies were not the end all of argument

2021-02-21 13:48:19 UTC  

oh its that one

2021-02-21 13:48:23 UTC  

lmao

2021-02-21 13:48:27 UTC  

while I was looking for it ok

2021-02-21 13:48:30 UTC  

Economies of scale are diminishing and not the only source of productivity

2021-02-21 13:48:41 UTC  

"diminishing"

2021-02-21 13:48:43 UTC  

do you read yourself

2021-02-21 13:48:45 UTC  

cant find the one with the nails

2021-02-21 13:49:12 UTC  

the world gets more and more monopolised with time, you can see that by growth of income inequality and corps share in economy, as well as stock exchange importance

2021-02-21 13:49:16 UTC  

where do you get your opinions from

2021-02-21 13:49:18 UTC  

I mean it's about price setting

2021-02-21 13:49:22 UTC  

and lack of information

2021-02-21 13:49:27 UTC  

you failed with historical points few times

2021-02-21 13:49:29 UTC  

soviets really dropped the ball on that one

2021-02-21 13:49:31 UTC  

that's a n e g d o t e

2021-02-21 13:49:51 UTC  

do you know how much stupid investments are made each year in capitalist economy

2021-02-21 13:50:15 UTC  

i can find more examples than those in USSR for sure and that wouldn't prove any point, since anegdotes aren't arguments

2021-02-21 13:50:18 UTC  

hope you understand that

2021-02-21 13:51:11 UTC  

we have a putin advisor that says in soviet economical education studying prices was prohibited

2021-02-21 13:51:20 UTC  

which is really fucked up

2021-02-21 13:51:23 UTC  

Putin falsifies history many times

2021-02-21 13:51:27 UTC  

to force his agenda

2021-02-21 13:51:52 UTC  

@ni co Companies can produce enough to tap into economies of scale. The returns you get from switching from corporations or monopoly to a state are very slight and overshadowed by other sources N

2021-02-21 13:51:57 UTC  

also, why should Putin be any argument in economical discussion?

2021-02-21 13:52:04 UTC  

putin may say so but a former advisor has no reason to lie about what he did in college education

2021-02-21 13:52:06 UTC  

he's comparable to tsar, and tsar was shit

2021-02-21 13:52:52 UTC  

that's another theoretical point witouth backup

2021-02-21 13:52:59 UTC  

can you show any developed nation going backwards?

2021-02-21 13:53:14 UTC  

You're saying scale increases productivity which is just as theoretical

2021-02-21 13:53:14 UTC  

like, point a country which gets more decentralised, having less corps and more SME

2021-02-21 13:53:18 UTC  

This is basic
