History

ella [17]3 years ago
7 0

Reagan had a series of economic policies that contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

One of them was that Reagan had a massive defense build-up from 134 to 253 billion dollars. This made the Soviet Union raise their spending with defense from 22 to 27% of GDP, this caused the freeze of production of civilian goods.

He also ended Carter’s grains embargo, this caused even more food shortages in the Soviet Union, at the same time he reduced the flow of technology to the Soviet Union and limited gas exports to them.

At that time, the Soviet Union had an economy based on oil, this moves by Reagan caused a drastic fall in the price of oil and as a result, Soviets had a low income of currency.

What societal problem did Karl Marx attempt to address in his manifesto? Choose the best answer. A The exploitation of the poor
NemiM [27]

Answer:

A, The exploitation of the poor by the rich.

Explanation:

Karl Heinrich Marx (1818 - 83) is a German social philosopher. In 1845 he went to Brussels, joined the Socialist League of the just in 1847, later renamed the Communist League, and in conjunction with Engels wrote for it the <em>communist manifesto </em>(1848).<em> </em>He envisaged a global political and social revolution as a result of the conflict between the working classes and the capitalists, who used the state to enforce their own dominance. His goal was to unite all workers in order to achieve political power. Marx's theories were developed at length in <em>Das Kapital </em>(1867; ed. by Engels) and inspired the communist movements of the 20th century. At the heart of Marxism lies the materialist conception of history, according to which the development of all human societies is ultimately determined by the methods of production that people adopt to meet their needs.

What made Florence thrive financially?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Florence was the site of many economic developments. It was witness to new systems of taxation and borrowing during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Trade was a major source of economic success. Moreover, industry was strong due to the implementation of craft guilds. Florence was not dominated by royal courts, like other states. Instead, it was a republic with an elected government. This made the city more frugal in taste, which also meant that the behaviour of people in terms of wealth accumulation and saving was more moderate and humble, contributing to the thriving economy.
