The Day The Soviet Union Ran Out Of Money

Описание: They had 40,000 nukes, but they couldn't produce toilet paper. this is the story of the
economy that faked its own existence.
we are taught that the soviet union collapsed because of the cold war, the arms race, or
"star wars." the truth is much simpler—and much darker. it was a collapse caused by a math
error.

for 70 years, the ussr tried to run a "command economy" from a single building in moscow
called gosplan. they tried to set the price of 24 million different items. the result? a system
where factories produced useless goods just to hit a quota, where oil money hid the rot, and
where the "superpower" was secretly buying its food from the united states.

in this documentary, we uncover the financial autopsy of the soviet union:

● the "nail factory" paradox: why soviet factories produced useless junk.
● the oil trap: how high oil prices in the 70s doomed them in the 80s.
● the "great grain robbery": the secret deal where the ussr begged the us for food.
● the oligarchs: how the "loans for shares" scheme stole the country's wealth.

it is a lesson in what happens when a government tries to fight the laws of economics. the math
always wins.
