NATIONALISATION - All decisions about the economy are decided by the central [national] government. CENTRAL PLANNING - To increase output the government sets production ‘targets’ which have to be met within a 5 year time span. TARGETS / QUOTAS - To encourage workers [and supervisors] to work harder to reach the targets set, ‘incentives’ are offered eg. bigger food ration, better apartment, better schooling for their children. INCENTIVES -
