ABSTRACT
The five-year economic plan, in its every aspect, starts from the general directions of the government in regard to the necessity of relieving the goods famine in the immediate future, and of terminating it entirely before the expiration of the five-year period. The movement of the balance of supply and demand, according to the estimates of the plan, will result in a liquidation of the goods famine by the end of the five-year period. In the last three years of the period the situation in the market for manufactured goods should be well in hand, while in the year 1929-30 there will still be a considerable tension. The problems of market organization on the basis of the widest development of cooperation are among the most important phases of the five-year development plan. The capital investments required in order to provide adequate technical resources for marketing, amount to 2.2 billion rubles (at prices of the respective years).
