Ministry of Finance

**The Ministry of Finance** deals with all economic aspects of the Soviet Union. Only the secretary general, who enjoys authority, will be able to gain access. In other words, having 100 political points. Doctrines of the Ministry of Finance also have their price, but also the conditions for acceptance.

# Labor freedoms

* **56 hour work week**

*- The USSR is surrounded by enemies inside, outside... Yes, everywhere! Soviet people must work as long as possible for the sake of our Victory!*
* **Attachment to factories**

*- To increase the volume of production, we need to abolish the right to voluntary dismissal of workers. Let the self-realization of the population suffer, but the benefit will be greater, right?...*
* **Fight against parasitism**

*- As Andropov bequeathed! Parasites - shame, parasites - to forced labor!*
* **Free labor**

*- No need to force anyone to work, let people work where and how they want. They are conscious enough to understand that labor is necessary for the Motherland.*
* **Shortening the working week**

*- The unstoppable progress of technology and the growth of productive forces allows workers to work less, getting more. After all, life is given to live, not to work, isn't it?*
# Pricing policy

* **Card system**

*- Undoubtedly, this will improve the supply of cities and the army, but it is unlikely that such a system will have enough luxury for everyone.*
* **Total control**

*- Prices under the supervision of the party! Sausage for 46 kopecks, ice cream for 48, isn't it wonderful?*
* **Floating prices**

*- We will prescribe them depending on the situation, if there is an excess of meat, it will be cheaper, and if there is a shortage, then, accordingly, more expensive.*
* **ESRD control**

*- We need to take the first step towards total price liberation, so we should only control the prices of essential goods to begin with.*
* **Free prices**

*- Finally, we were able to completely free prices! From now on, they are regulated by the market, not the state. It's wonderful, isn't it?...*
# Trade policy

* **Import substitution**

*- We must completely secure the country from imports and organize the production of everything necessary in the Union. We will not allow foreign goods on our shelves!*
* **Protectionism**

*- Like all developed countries, the Soviet Union will monitor imports so that they do not destroy our industry and take jobs from the people.*
* **Selective protectionism**

*- Let's open the market for goods from the socialist countries to support our comrades. Goods from capitalist countries will be subject to duties to compensate.*
* **Protectionism only in major industries**

*- We will open the market for foreign goods, but we will not let them displace our main producers. Imports capable of destroying our industry will be limited.*
* **Lack of protectionism**

*- Protectionism leads to an increase in the cost of imported goods and the formation of monopolies. We must get rid of any trade barriers if we want development.*
# Type of economy

* **War economic machine**

*- To win this war, we need to completely put the economy on a war footing. Let some be dissatisfied, but it is a necessary measure.*
* **The militarization of the economy**

*- The first step towards the formation of the economy on a war footing. Surely this will lead us to victory.*
* **State planned economy**

*- All enterprises go to the state. It also deals with the planning of what will be necessary for everyone in the state.'*
* **Gosplan with elements of the market**

*- The state still retains a leading role in the economy, but cooperatives and artels are allowed.*
* **New Economic Policy**

*- We will allow small and medium-sized businesses in certain areas, as well as encourage self-financing in state-owned enterprises. It once helped raise the country, why won't it help now?...*
* **Gosplan with elements of self-government**

*- Small elements of self-management in factories, such as workers' councils and encouragement of rationalization of production, will not hurt anyone, right?*
* **Lieberman reform**

*- Kosygin's plan. Like in Hungary. Let the state support private initiative, and also expand the powers of directors of enterprises and workers' councils.*
* **Corporatism**

*- All advanced revolutionary classes of society are working for the good of the Fatherland. Workers, intelligentsia, socially responsible entrepreneurs - the USSR is everything, the rest is nothing.*
* **Titoism**

*- Much deeper than the NEP, and even with self-support and self-government. Once we accused Tito of corporatism, but now?...*
* **Social market economy**

*- There should be a market in the Union - but with an emphasis on improving the living standards of people and creating a moderately prosperous society. If China is moving towards this, why can't we?*
* **Mixed market economy**

*- The state retains ownership over the list of firms in many sectors of the economy, but they work mainly on self-supporting basis. In other matters, everything is decided by private initiative.*
# Five-year bias

* **Light industry**

*- We need to focus on increasing the production of consumer goods by allocating more funds to small and medium-sized enterprises.*
* **Agriculture**

*- People cannot live without food. It is our duty to provide the country's citizens with food, so farmers should receive priority funding.*
* **Heavy industry**

*- The hands of workers create all the wealth in the world. Heavy industry will not lose its importance even in a post-industrial society, so it must be provided with everything necessary.*
* **VPK**

*- The military-industrial complex of our country should not be inferior to the American and Chinese! This is not only a matter of prestige, so its priority funding is our goal.*
* **The science**

*- Without science there can be no progress, without progress there can be no modern society. Therefore, we must give our research institutes everything they need in the first place.*
