Wendy Goldman - discussion after the keynote

Описание: In her keynote address, Wendy Goldman analyzed the contentions surrounding industrialization in the early Soviet Union. State planners were faced with the question of how to industrialize without a sufficiently concentrated surplus to draw on. Should the peasantry therefore be made to produce at a loss, so that their capital could flow to the cities? Or should they be granted market prices for their produce, with the expectation that their consumption would eventually stimulate urban industry?
