When export grain rather than eat it, how does that not reduce consumption

2021-02-21 13:36:54 UTC  

not to mention noncountable changes

2021-02-21 13:36:58 UTC  

like housing and education

2021-02-21 13:37:09 UTC  

those aren't included in consumption and still show standard of living

2021-02-21 13:37:14 UTC  

exporting grain to buy silk to make parachutes and watching ukrainians die

2021-02-21 13:37:17 UTC  

genius economics

2021-02-21 13:37:22 UTC  

stalin cut the grain exports when crisis developed

2021-02-21 13:37:27 UTC  

/\

2021-02-21 13:37:31 UTC  

that's true

2021-02-21 13:37:32 UTC  

but

2021-02-21 13:37:44 UTC  

explain your point what you mean by "export rather than eat"

2021-02-21 13:37:58 UTC  

USSR was net exporter of grain because it was simply producing more it could consume for most of the time

2021-02-21 13:38:17 UTC  

what should they do? sponsor state obesity? or get funds for chad industrialisation?

2021-02-21 13:38:28 UTC  

state obesity !!!!

2021-02-21 13:38:34 UTC  

It exported grain to import industrial equipment because there were balance of payment issues

2021-02-21 13:38:35 UTC  

truly a problem in 1930

2021-02-21 13:38:41 UTC  

s

2021-02-21 13:38:42 UTC  

This should be simple to understand

2021-02-21 13:38:42 UTC  

and what's wrong with it

2021-02-21 13:38:44 UTC  

explain your point

2021-02-21 13:38:50 UTC  

they could have stored some food maybe

2021-02-21 13:38:56 UTC  

most of industrialisations in the world are fueled by exports revenues

2021-02-21 13:38:58 UTC  

for the dark days

2021-02-21 13:39:02 UTC  

brazil, mexico, iran, turkey

2021-02-21 13:39:04 UTC  

just read history

2021-02-21 13:39:14 UTC  

they could've just not stole all the wheat and artificially forced a mass famine

2021-02-21 13:39:20 UTC  

It exported more to accelerate the import and development of industry, so yes it led to less consumption

2021-02-21 13:39:20 UTC  

wrong

2021-02-21 13:39:23 UTC  

but clearly I am in the wrong here

2021-02-21 13:39:25 UTC  

It was not the same pace

2021-02-21 13:39:35 UTC  

you have no data to back it up

2021-02-21 13:39:41 UTC  

they didnt

2021-02-21 13:39:44 UTC  

as I said USSR had better food security than tsarist russia

2021-02-21 13:39:57 UTC  

ahaha

2021-02-21 13:40:03 UTC  

Not really true

2021-02-21 13:40:07 UTC  

economy tsarist russia is practically anarchy from what i understood

2021-02-21 13:40:13 UTC  

they had private farms

2021-02-21 13:40:16 UTC  

that fed people

2021-02-21 13:40:17 UTC  

that's obviously true, simply USSR eliminated cyclical famines

2021-02-21 13:40:18 UTC  

Both were autarkic but the civil war wrecked productivity

2021-02-21 13:40:29 UTC  

in tsarist russia you had famine every decade or two
