Abstract
La década de los años veinte del siglo XX estuvo caracterizada en la URSS
por dos cambios de rumbo muy significativos: el abandono del «Comunismo
de Guerra» y su sustitución por la «Nueva Política Económica» (NEP) en
1921, y la adopción de una estrategia de industrialización acelerada, cristalizada
en el Primer Plan Quinquenal (PPQ) de la economía, en 1929. En
los últimos años, diversos especialistas han argumentado, en contra de la opinión
tradicional, que la industrialización acelerada no tenía por qué haber
implicado un abandono de la NEP, la supresión del mercado y la consiguiente
colectivización de la agricultura, sino que hubiera podido mantenerse en el
marco de la vigencia de la Ley del Valor. El presente trabajo trata de mostrar,
desde una perspectiva teórica, y con ayuda del modelo más representativo
de la filosofía del PPQ, que dicha interpretación no es correcta.
The Soviet Union experienced two very pronounced changes of direction in 1921 and 1929. At the beginning of the decade, the strategy of «War Communism » was abandoned, substituted by the completely different «New Economic Policy» (NEP); and changed again, at the end of those years, towards a strategy of forced industrialization based on the collectivisation of the agricultural sector. In recent years, some specialists have argued that this second change was unnecessary: i.e., rapid industrialization could have been achieved wíthin the framework of NEP and the Law of Value. The purpose of this paper is to argüe, froin a theoretical point of view, and with the help of the model that best summarizes the strategy of rapid industríalization, that this new interpretation cannot be sustained, and that those authors that defended the incompatibiHty of NEP and rapid industrialization were correct.
