NEP made economy the same it was in 1913, then stagnated
I'd rather talk about fixing modern economies than redoing arguments from 100 years ago
Data about the NEP
you see them there
you can see strong growth associated with postwar reconstruction
This correlates to political crises
Stalin supressed consumption and redirected the entire economy towards heavy industry
That's not a good economic policy if it leads to famines or wastes opportunities for growth in nonindustrial sectors
and when economy is rebuilt it doesn't grow anymore
Like the Civil War and unrest after the bolshevik victory
completely wrong
Light industry, services and agriculture can be important sources of revenue
it catched up with a west and boomed economy quicker than anyone ever managed
Any statistic on investment capital?
first of all, Stalin didn't redrict economy to heavy industry
Or how it affected it negatively
it was prioritised in gosplan activities
but light industry still expanded heavily
The 5 year plans overwhelmingly focused on heavy industry
and that was a great policy
if it was not heavy industry
I did not say agriculture etc. was banned but neglected
Because the NEP was completely needed to get out of a feudal mode of production and gain capital
ussr would be dead
it was all about getting a war industry
that heavy industry
was used
to produce
USSR didn't neglect light industry, that's a common myth
tractors
read about good A and B group
they both expanded
and general expansion of manufacturing sector
the same factories then produced tanks
The 5 year plans couldn't have happened if there wasn't sufficient capital to start with
capital was thanks to US aid
not thanks to NEP
You don't get how economics work nigga
you are first in the chat to dont know real NEP effects
