Expanded Reproduction Under the Conditions of Developed Socialism

The Tenth Five-Year Plan, the basic directions of which were articulated by the Twenty-fifth Congress of the CPSU, reflects two fundamental aspects of the Party's economic policy: in the first place, its stability and continuity from one five-year period to another; and in the second place, its dynamism and concreteness, which take new processes and phenomena into account. The fundamental features of expanded socialist reproduction are preserved in all stages of development of the Soviet economy. It is specifically these features that form the objective basis of the continuity and stability of the economic policy of the CPSU. They include, first and foremost, the rapid and stable growth of the scale of production based on the development of heavy industry; the utilization of the attainments of scientific and technical progress; the continuous improvement of the people's well-being; the maintenance of proportionality in the development of the national economy; the continuous expansion of national wealth; and the increased effectiveness of the economy.
