The Relationship between the Material Intensiveness and The Capital Intensiveness of Production

The Twenty-Fourth Congress of the CPSU advanced the task of bringing about a steady rise in the effectiveness of social production on the basis of scientific-technical progress and the more complete utilization of all resources."… The crux of the problem," emphasized L. I. Brezhnev, "is to achieve a significant increase in the volume of production and national income for every unit of expenditure — labor, material, and financial."

Economic Reform and Finance

The chief goal of the present economic transformations is to increase the effectiveness of social production in every way, to accelerate the growth rates of the national income, and, on this basis, to raise steadily the material well-being of the Soviet people and to strengthen the nation's might. These transformations signify the further development of the Leninist principles of socialist management and the improvement of production relations in keeping with the attained level of productive forces and of scientific-technical progress.

The Modern Scientific-Technical Revolution and its Influence on the Economy's Growth Rates

Scientific-technical progress is being made at an unprecedented rate. The influence of science on economic development is steadily increasing. To an ever increasing extent, science is becoming a direct productive force which revolutionizes the process of social production.

Improvement of the Structure of Industrial Production and Investment Planning

The CPSU Program envisages the shifting of the production apparatus of the national economy, during the next twenty years, to a qualitatively new level. The scope of the forthcoming transformation may be judged by the fact that, while the physical volume of the national income will increase approximately five times by 1980, the labor time expended in the sphere of material production will remain virtually unchanged. Such a drastic increase in social labor productivity cannot be achieved, of course, by partial improvements and extensive dissemination of the technology of large-scale machine production in the form in which it occurred in the first half of the century. What is involved is a gradual and systematic transformation of all social production on the basis of qualitatively new technological principles emerging in the course of scientific-technical progress.

The Higher School at a New Stage

Comrades! The Soviet people, under the leadership of their Communist Party, have won remarkable victories on the road to communism during the years of socialist construction. Through the will and creative genius of the Soviet people, inspired by the Communist Party, our country has been transformed into a mighty socialist power that has attained unprecedented heights in the development of science and technology. The Soviet people can well be proud of the fact that our great country has taken its stand in the vanguard of world social and scientific-technical progress.
