The main thing is to make life better for people." He pledged both to "further strengthen centralization in strategic areas of the economy" and "at the same time . . . to broaden the autonomy of production associations, enterprises, collective and state farms." He would accomplish this, he said, in part by using "such tools as profit, pricing, credit and self-sufficiency...
