USSR was a sweet test case. End result was that people didn't bother to put in much effort since there was little to gain. Which resulted in inefficient economy missing target after target. Students in USSR were sent to state farms to help local workers. Those farms were stupidly inefficient. Because of that a lot of produce was rotting out in fields. My mom was sent in as well when she was a student. Being a naive city girl she did double the worker's quota on her first day. Next morning local workers told her to slow down because otherwise quotas would be raised for everybody.
