The development of market economies lead to the end of the Soviet Union because when people of the Soviet Union wanted a market economy they would not give it to them.

In market economies most economic decisions are made by the pirvate individuals

Market economies caused the fall of the soviet union due to the demand of certain products that the factories couldnt supply

Factories only made more of things when they were in demand so sometimes stores wouldn't have what you wanted.

Most decisions about what goods and services to produce, how to produce them, and who will get to use them are made by private individuals and business firms.

The Soviet government spent time building more factories but productivity of workers was low.

During the 1920s and 1930s, Latvia experienced a miraculous economic recovery after the ravaging of World War I (1914-18). Agrarian reform provided land for the dispossessed. Many farmsteads formed cooperatives that provided loans and export credits, the currency was stable, there was low **inflation**, unemployment was not as severe as it was in Western Europe during the Great Depression, and Latvia was able to tuck away 10.6 tons of gold in foreign banks. But this recovery was severely interrupted by World War II, and Latvia's economic processes were quickly altered by the invasion of the Red Army of the Soviet Union. As the Soviet Union took command of the economy, almost all property, including farms, was placed under state control, leading to the 1949 deportation of 40,000 mostly rural occupants. The following decades saw a continual struggle between rational communist reformers and political ideologues attached to Moscow, with the latter habitually prevailing. Though there was an attempt to reorient Latvian industry from its growing reliance on imported raw materials, by 1959 Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, over-saw all of Latvian industrialization and economic development. Despite such control, Latvians always remembered their previous economic successes and recognized that they would have been better off if they had remained separate from the Soviet Union.

During the Cold War, economic planning was perceived as a way of achieving accelerated economic growth in developing countries of the Third World. However, planning was a tool that had been perfected in the centrally planned economies of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. Thus when developing countries adopted this strategy, together with other associated political structures such as the one-party or single-party mode of political organisation, they soon found themselves caught up in the East - West rivalry or Cold War which was extended to the new nations. Because of this, the many battle grounds to emerge concerned development assistance, and the need to choose the development path to be followed - whether to follow the western countries and adopt a market economy or embrace economic planning in the context of socialist orientation.
