The Eisenacher Program

The Eisenacher Program was a set of economic policies introduced in East Germany in 1965, aimed at improving productivity, innovation, and consumer satisfaction. It focused on modernizing industries, encouraging technological development, and increasing efficiency within the socialist planned economy. The program sought to balance industrial growth with social goals, emphasizing quality improvements and better living standards. Essentially, it was an effort by the East German government to make their economy more competitive and responsive to both worker and consumer needs while maintaining socialist principles.
