War in comparison: economics, weapons and methods of struggle

War is a political decision that cost economic actions: the mobilization of resources - human and production, a change in production structure, and in other words, militarization. One of the most indicative examples of the interweaving of various motives for militarization and at the same time the key and most tragic moment of the history of the 20th century was the Second World War. The author of the book explores the question: how much was the Soviet state more effective in the economy and government of the state before the external threat than Western democracies and axis regimes? In addition, in the book, a comparison of the USSR with the Russian Empire is carried out at some points during the First World War
