Consider... Communist Russia's economy... - Ran by 5 year plans - Small businesses were made illegal to concentrate industry into monopolies. - Big monopolies were run on a zero profit basis. - Big monopolies were run by state appointed officials, often those who had run the industry before, and only supplied other big monopolies. - Labour was forced into state-run trade unions. - Strikes were illegal and strikers were shot. - People taking time off were called "wreckers" and shot. Nazi German's economy... - Ran by 7 year plans - Small businesses (under 50,000 marks capital) were made illegal to concentrate industry into a few dominant industries. - Big corporations were offered a Government exclusive contract at a mere 7% markup or left to go bankrupt. - Big corporations were run by a handful off rich powerful men who had built them by had to fall into line with their Government contract in which the state was their only customer. During the entire 1930's Volkswagen never sold a single vehicle to the public. - Labour could only join a state run union. - Strikes were illegal and strikers were shot. - If you didn't take any time off for 6 months, the state gave you a free radio and 5 years meant a free car. |
