Question

what was joseph stalins goal in creating a command economy?
to gradually move to a market economy
to conserve limited resources
to shift resources toward necessities
to outproduce capitalist nations

Explanation:

Stalin's command economy (in the context of the Soviet Union's industrialization and competition with capitalist countries like those in the West) aimed to rapidly develop industry to outproduce capitalist nations, especially in terms of industrial and military production. The other options are incorrect: a command economy is not about moving to a market economy; conserving resources wasn't the primary goal (it was about rapid development); and shifting to necessities was not the main goal compared to competing with capitalist economies.

Answer:

D. to outproduce capitalist nations
