1946 - 1950
The aim was to recover after the war because for example
- Industry only produced two thirds of what it used to
- There were 25 million homeless in 1945
So 88% of investment went into heavy industry
The Result
- 80% increase in heavy industry production
- 1945 - 1950 soviet economy grew more than most others
- But farming not so good due to drought and a lack of labourers
