Military and social spending in the Soviet Union ; Dépenses militaires et dépenses sociales en Union soviétique
The Soviet Union is based on the idea of international communism. The State declares, in turn, its national state and its globalist vocation. Social expenditure will be preferred in the first case, military expenditure in the latter case. Social expenditure cannot be described in this way, because it is the Communist Party, which represents the people, which has the power and itself determines the income of each worker. There is no exploitation of the profession as in capitalist countries. This type of study involves making assumptions about Moscow's social expenditure, estimating military expenditure and then resolving a number of statistical obstacles. This econometric analysis highlights the existence of a unilateral relationship between social and military spending. The overall effects of social and military spending on large economic variables are often opposed. Military expenditure is partly dependent on developments in social benefits, highlighting the continued choice between the power economy and the welfare economy. ; International audience ; The Soviet Union is based on the idea of international communism.
