Proportions in the Soviet Economy in the Tenth Five-Year Plan

Abstract

A characteristic feature of a socialist economy is the proportionality of its development. The State Five-Year Plan for the Development of the National Economy between 1976 and 1980, which envisages progressive general economic, interbranch, intrabranch, and territorial proportions and improvements in the structure of social production, is a new and vivid confirmation of this point. Moreover, in line with the principal target of the Tenth Five-Year Plan, proportionality in the development of social production is the most important means of securing the consistent implementation of the Communist Party's policy of improving the material and cultural living standard of the people.
