Disfavor for price and mathematical economics during Stalinism
[edit]I was wondering about this sentence, given that Stalin was amazed by the work of Oskar Lange and made him work for the polish government. I tried to find the source of this proposition, "Katz, Economic Freedom (1972)" in order to check that but I can't find a single mention of that book.
If this sentence is only written because of one trial, I think it's too much. There was many political trials during Stalinism and it does not mean that "mathematical economy" was especially disregarded. Arnsy (talk) 09:29, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Revision of the article and removal of data tables
[edit]In this recent revision of the article, I removed the following two data tables:
Average annual growth, % years gross social product national income 1961—1965 6,5 6,5 1966—1970 7,4 7,7 1971—1975 6,4 5,7 1975—1979 4,4 4,4
Economic performance over the previous year (1960 = 100) year gross output number of employed persons fixed productive assets 1965 148 123 186 1970 163 115 152 1975 137 108 151 1979 116 107 134
The tables look nice and aren't irrelevant to the issue at hand, but I fear that they fail to provide enough context and don't show data that could be easily/well interpreted by a reader. I don't feel too strongly about this decision, so if other people think the tables belong, we can put them back in. We might also use other more illustrative tables—for example, ones which showed year-by-year changes from, say, 1963 through 1971. peace & blessings, groupuscule (talk) 16:51, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
