23:01 "Isn't it just like Lenin's NEP?"
36:28 If capital must take control of the state, why did the USSR survive the NEP to continue socialist construction?

China does have a boom-bust cycle now https://kanebridgenews.com/chinas-40-year-boom-is-over-what-comes-next/
Building a quarantine facility to handle Covid means your economy is down the shitter while no longer keeping track of Covid cases means your economy is booming.
While the claim may have merit, it requires more evidence than a WaPo article. The following paragraph is, I think, interesting.
Stop the presses!!! Less than 4% yoy growth 😱??? This still far exceeds American growth. This article is old enough that updated data may have been released to confirm the authors' conclusions, so, to make a claim like that meritously it might be worth doing that and engaging with the data outside of a newspaper which is owned by one of the richest men in the world and based in the capital of the world's most brutal and extractive empire which benefit from anti-communist propaganda. I don't say this to dismiss any possibility of economic slowdown however, merely that the burden of proof on this is higher than WaPo.
