Explanation

The economic system of the GDR was a planned economy, where state planning and control of production and distribution of goods were paramount. Unlike a market economy, which is based on supply and demand, the planned economy was centrally managed to achieve the state's economic goals. However, this system often resulted in inefficiencies and shortages, contributing to the political and economic crisis of the GDR.
