gdp per head

2018-05-06 06:06:03 UTC  

okie

2018-05-06 06:06:10 UTC  

well this graph here shows a different picture

2018-05-06 06:06:16 UTC  

measuring the gdp per head/capita

2018-05-06 06:06:48 UTC  

it might have been measuring by percentage of growth rate

2018-05-06 06:07:20 UTC  

this is also a neat read for sustained economic growth in the ussr

2018-05-06 06:08:21 UTC  

okie i'll have a read tonight

2018-05-06 06:08:43 UTC  

it is pretty interesting, i genuine recommend it

2018-05-06 06:08:57 UTC  

this is also a somewhat telling graph

2018-05-06 06:09:13 UTC  

note the dropoff in calories riiight after glasnost and perestroika were introduced

2018-05-06 06:09:22 UTC  

From the backwater of the world to a world power

2018-05-06 06:09:33 UTC  

In 20 years

2018-05-06 06:09:36 UTC  

it's really incredibly impressive, if you ask me

2018-05-06 06:10:08 UTC  

Admittedly the communists did manage to bring the country out from a feudal backward poor country to something in the world stage

2018-05-06 06:10:17 UTC  

That being said communism is pretty much surperior to feudalism

2018-05-06 06:10:27 UTC  

i think just about anything is, lol

2018-05-06 06:10:31 UTC  

and absolute monarchies

Roast me too

2018-05-06 06:11:21 UTC  

blog post, but with plentiful sources

2018-05-06 06:11:27 UTC  

However if that had a gradual transformation from a feudal monarchy to a liberal western demoacracy then I feel as if they would have done better in the long run

2018-05-06 06:12:01 UTC  

8values didn't work so I did politiscales

2018-05-06 06:12:09 UTC  

i can't say i concur, the data seems to show that once they began to introduce reforms such as glasnost and perestroika they began to decline

2018-05-06 06:12:12 UTC  

wait

2018-05-06 06:12:16 UTC  

lemme check out that graph

2018-05-06 06:12:44 UTC  

okie

2018-05-06 06:12:51 UTC  

yep, again it seems to show the same thing

2018-05-06 06:13:11 UTC  

it looks rather stagnate though

2018-05-06 06:13:27 UTC  

D-did you see my s-scales

2018-05-06 06:13:43 UTC  

Still doing better than quite a few asian countries\

2018-05-06 06:13:45 UTC  

i think one discrepancy might be because of the nature of the soviet economic system, namely how it wasn't really intended to generate capital to be effective in a competitive marketplace, but rather something to support its people

2018-05-06 06:13:48 UTC  

wait

2018-05-06 06:13:52 UTC  

lemme check out those scales

2018-05-06 06:14:25 UTC  

looks good 2 me

2018-05-06 06:15:47 UTC  

Whew
