Abolition of Money in Soviet Economic Policy
A speech outlines the first three years of Soviet rule with money nearly abolished and payments replaced by in kind benefits. It notes free clothing, food for workers and children, postal costs removed, and wage payments increasingly in kind as a basis of distribution, predicting a future where money vanishes for most and only remains in the market for scarce purchases. The speaker emphasizes unity across regions and anticipates a society where money becomes a distant memory for future generations.
