Why was lenins New Economic Policy designed?
The NEP was supposed to create a stronger Soviet UnionMore facts:It was designed to do this by rebuilding the economy. After the Bolshevik takeover and two years of civil war and Lenin's "war communism," the Soviet economy was producing less than it had in the last years of the Tsarist regime. The NEP temporarily introduced some elements of capitalism in certain areas of the economy such as peasant agriculture and small businesses. Under "war communism" peasant farmers were forced to practically hand over large portions of their crops for next to nothing. This resulted in farmers not being motivated to grow as much as they could. Farmers were hoarding crops, not growing as much and killing off their own livestock. The intent of the NEP was that, especially as to the farmers, there would be more production overall if there was more incentive to produce.This was an interesting tacit admission by Lenin and some, but not all, Communists that the capitalist system had its advantages after all.
