Sorry if this a little silly of a question I haven't read much on the topic, but in a centrally planned economy, if everyone is a worker of a state owned business, how did the government have a budget surplus? Did they only rely on exports and tourism for state finances, because I can't think of other ways to generate state revenue surplus. Thank you for your answers.
I'm afraid I genuinely do not know. I think my gf was just answering the question on a more macro sense. Like, how do they have a budget surplus. I'm sure in many cases money does go directly from one person to another without state intervention.
