Is it possible to have both a strong economy and low economic freedoms (READ: Socialist/communist economy)? If so, how do you achieve it? I want to stay a Left-wing Utopia but I want to improve my economy a bit.

Political Compass: Economic Left/Right: -8.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.36 "If you get confused, listen to the music play" MAKE LOVE NOT WAR - Put this in your signature if you agree.

Build a strong economy by free-market or capitalist means, and then wait for an issue that lets you nationalise the lot: If your nation is big enough then inertia will -- unless you really overdo things -- keep your later & more socialist policies from weakening it again very quickly...

The Confrederated Clans (and other Confrederated Bodys) of the Free Bears of Bears Armed (includes The Ursine NorthLands) Demonym = Bear[s]; adjective = ‘Urrsish’.
Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years. If the nation is classified as 'Anarchy' there still is a [strictly limited] national government... and those aren't "biker gangs", they're traditional cross-Clan 'Warrior Societies', generally respected rather than feared.
