Explanation:

After World War II, during the Cold - War era, both the US and the Soviet Union engaged in economic aid to other states as a means of political influence.

The US had social welfare programs before WWII, the Soviet Union did not experience hyperinflation and economic recession due to currency printing in the same way as described, and the Soviet Union did not cut taxes and limit government regulation of business as it was a planned economy.
