Russia’s shift from agriculture to industry under central planning
George S. Benson reviews Soviet progress between 1928 and 1938, noting slow but steady industrial transformation, rising but uneven living standards, and the enduring use of centralized planning by rulers. He contrasts Russia’s development with America’s prior industrial rise and highlights strong military preparedness contrasted with ongoing social limits. He points to central planning as an old idea used by kings and dictators, with Russia’s leaders praised for military command and American equipment in the era.
