Stalin's Five Year Plan did not "resemble" a command economy; it WAS a command economy. A command economy is when the central government determines how much production will occur (instead of allowing businesses to produce at their own levels). The Five Year Plan was an explicit set of quotas by Stalin as to how much production (mostly agricultural) would occur in the next five years, setting a level of production which was unreasonable.

What are the principles of command economy?

A command economy, also known as a planned economy, is characterized by centralized government control over the production and distribution of goods and services. The government makes all key economic decisions, determining what to produce, how much to produce, and the prices of goods, often aiming to achieve specific social or economic objectives. Resources are allocated based on a national plan rather than market forces, which can lead to inefficiencies and a lack of innovation. This system contrasts with market economies, where individual choices and supply and demand dictate economic activity.


How are goods distributed in a command economy?

In a command economy, the government centrally plans and controls the distribution of goods and services. Decisions about what to produce, how much to produce, and who receives the goods are made by state authorities rather than through market forces. This system aims to meet the needs of the population based on a predetermined plan, often leading to shortages or surpluses due to lack of responsiveness to consumer demand. Ultimately, the distribution is designed to align with the government's economic and social objectives.
