Terror e a Economia Soviética

A escola do MIT, cheia de estrelas e grandes economistas, sempre teve um viés, iniciado por Samuelson e que continua com Acemoglu, pela URSS. A idéia crucial é que a economia soviética funcionava bem por causa do terror. Wishful thinking da esquerda de água salgada. O socialismo não funciona e nunca funcionou, nem debaixo da porrada, da brutalidade, do terror absoluto. Sergei Guriev elabora: The benefit of centralised economic control is that it allows you to move 25-30 per cent of the labour force from farm to factory within just one decade. However, a recent study I co-authored found this did not work as planned: the gains from moving resources to industry did not make up for destroying productivity within both agriculture and industry. Terror is brutal and effective in moving resources, but it is not productive in organising them efficiently.
