Question

After the breakup of the Soviet Union, nearly every republic moved from a Communist economic system to a _____ one.

-mercantile
-planned
-mixed
-market

Answer 1

mixed

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of communist production consisted of the predominance of the state as regulator, producer and distributor of the goods and services that were produced in the Soviet economies. In this way, there was a state production system.

When the collapse of the Soviet Union occurred, the state went bankrupt and lost the economic conditions to keep all production under its control. In this way, the economies began to open, adopting a hybrid system, where the economic activity started to be exercised also by the private initiative. This was the prelude for these economies to adhere to the capitalist model of production.

Answer 2

After the breakup of the Soviet Union, nearly every republic moved from a Communist economic system to a "mixed" economy, since they wanted to embrace capitalism but needed to transition from a "planned" economy first.
