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 focused on rapid industrialization, with the core aim of catching up and surpassing the industrial output of Western capitalist nations to strengthen the Soviet Union's global standing and ideological competitiveness. The other options do not align with his primary goals: he did not aim for a market economy, conservation was not a priority, and while resources went to industrial needs, the overarching goal was outproducing capitalists.

Answer:

to outproduce capitalist nations
