Entwicklungsmodell realer Sozialismus? - Eine politometrische Untersuchung zu Verteilung, Wachstum und Humanentwicklung in Weltmarkt-abgekoppelten Systemen
ABSTRACT:
This article evaluates in a systematic way the human and social development performance of socialist countries in the world system since the 1960s until today. Keeping the non-linear trade-off between development level and subsequent development performance constant, it is shown for 11 World Bank World Data tape human development indicators that in the more advanced socialist countries the human development record was apalling. It is duly taken into consideration that positive residuals from a negative indicator, like infant mortality, are part of a bad development performance
The indicators are:
growth 1960-75
income distribution 1975
life expectancy 1977
life expectancy increases 1960-77
infant mortality increases 1960 - 77
availability of doctors 1960-77
calorie supply increase 1960 - 77
increase of motor vehicles per population 1960 - 77
hospital beds per population, 1970 - 77
increases of secondary education 1970 - 77
increases of alphabetization rates 1970 - 77
