In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about Gosplan and the Soviet command economy. We'll start by defining what Gosplan was and its role in managing the entire economy of the Soviet Union. You'll learn how the government created detailed plans, called Five-Year Plans, to set specific production goals for factories, farms, and industries across the country. We'll discuss how these plans replaced market forces with centralized decision-making, including setting prices, wages, and resource allocation.

We'll also explain how Gosplan coordinated the supply of raw materials, labor, and finished goods through detailed balance sheets, and how all financial transactions were controlled through state banks. Despite the system's efficiency in rapid industrialization, it faced challenges such as shortages, surpluses, and limited innovation due to lack of incentives. We’ll explore the advantages and disadvantages of this approach, including its impact on economic growth and the difficulties in adapting to new challenges over time.
