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 (part of the Soviet industrialization and Five - Year Plans) was aimed at rapidly developing industry to match and surpass capitalist countries, especially in terms of production. The option "to gradually move to a market economy" is incorrect as a command economy is the opposite of a market economy. "To conserve limited resources" was not the main goal; the focus was on rapid industrial growth. "To shift resources toward necessities" is not accurate as the command economy prioritized heavy industry and military - related production for competing with capitalist nations. The main goal was to outproduce capitalist nations.

Answer:

D. to outproduce capitalist nations
