Question

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

Explanation:

Stalin's command economy focused on rapid industrialization to compete with and surpass the economic output of Western capitalist nations, as part of his push to strengthen the Soviet Union's global standing and military/industrial power. The other options are incorrect: he did not aim for a market economy, shifting to necessities was not the core goal (prioritization was heavy industry), and conservation was not the intent.

Answer:

to outproduce capitalist nations
