The Strategy of Scientific-Technological Progress

Abstract

As we know, the leading role in implementing the party's policy of accelerating socioeconomic development belongs to scientific-technological progress. The Twenty-seventh CPSU Congress called for raising the nation's average annual growth rate from 3% during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan to 4% during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan and to 5% or more in the 1990s. At the same time, indicators of effectiveness of social production must accelerate at an even faster rate, because socioeconomic development will have to accelerate under conditions of the diminishing growth of production resources.
