The Integration of The State Insurance into the Economic System of The German Democratic Republic

Abstract

The economic system of socialism is a system of the conscious use of the economic laws of socialism by the state under the leading of the perty of the working class. This includes the active participation of all workmen in the framework of their social life. Securing a high and continuous increase of work productivity is an objective that is also included in our system of comprehensive socialist planning in the GDR. The idea of our economic system can be formulated as follows: It is the organic connection of centralised planning and management of the basic problems of the whole social process with the self-responsible planning and management of the socialist producers and responsible personnel of public affairs in the central government as well as in the different localities. According to this idea remarkable changes have been carried out step by step in all spheres of the national economy.
