When export grain rather than eat it, how does that not reduce consumption
not to mention noncountable changes
like housing and education
those aren't included in consumption and still show standard of living
exporting grain to buy silk to make parachutes and watching ukrainians die
genius economics
stalin cut the grain exports when crisis developed
/\
that's true
but
explain your point what you mean by "export rather than eat"
USSR was net exporter of grain because it was simply producing more it could consume for most of the time
what should they do? sponsor state obesity? or get funds for chad industrialisation?
state obesity !!!!
It exported grain to import industrial equipment because there were balance of payment issues
truly a problem in 1930
s
This should be simple to understand
and what's wrong with it
explain your point
most of industrialisations in the world are fueled by exports revenues
for the dark days
brazil, mexico, iran, turkey
just read history
they could've just not stole all the wheat and artificially forced a mass famine
It exported more to accelerate the import and development of industry, so yes it led to less consumption
wrong
but clearly I am in the wrong here
It was not the same pace
you have no data to back it up
they didnt
as I said USSR had better food security than tsarist russia
ahaha
Not really true
economy tsarist russia is practically anarchy from what i understood
they had private farms
that fed people
that's obviously true, simply USSR eliminated cyclical famines
Both were autarkic but the civil war wrecked productivity
in tsarist russia you had famine every decade or two
