Which of the following statements describes the command economy of the Soviet Union? A. The government allowed private businesses to produce goods and services demanded by the market.
B. The government decided what goods and services would be produced and supplied to the market.
C. The government allowed workers to own the means of production.
D. The government ensured high wages for workers.
The correct answer is B. The government decided what goods and services would be produced and supplied to the market.
In a command economy, like that of the Soviet Union, the government has central control over the economy and makes all the decisions regarding the production and distribution of goods and services. This means that the state determines what to produce, how much to produce, and at what price to sell the goods, rather than allowing market forces to dictate these factors.
