| Abstract: | The author discusses some economic-geographic aspects of the so-called period of full-fledged construction of communism (1960–80). Off-season employment is to be provided for the farm labor force. In urban centers some new industries will be designed to absorb underemployed family members. The author discounts the principle of “uniformity of location of production” and says areas unfavorable to human settlement (subarctic, deserts, mountains) will remain undeveloped even under communism. Urban-rural differences are expected to disappear gradually. |
