Economy must be efficient


Explanation:
Over 30 years of the trend of profits lowering, the USSR economy became pretty inefficient. Brezhnev(I believe) started a program under the slogan "Ekonomika dolzhna byt' ekonomnoy" - the economy must be efficient, but the results didn't yield much, except the government admitting that the economy is inefficient.

«Эконо́мика должна́ бы́ть эконо́мной» (полный текст звучал так: «Экономика должна быть экономной — таково требование») — тезис (впоследствии ставший политическим лозунгом), прозвучавший на XXVI съезде КПСС в отчётном докладе Л. И. Брежнева. Автором доклада и, соответственно, автором этого лозунга является постоянный спичрайтер генсека Александр Бовин

Несмотря на то, что тезис считается тавтологическим, никакой тавтологии в нём нет[источник не указан 2413 дней] — если правильно понимать термины:

Экономика от др.-греч. οἶκος — дом и νόμος — закон, буквально — правила ведения хозяйства.



Экономный — бережливо расходующий те или иные ресурсы, синоним — эффективный.

Since we are talking about a specific economy - here the Soviet economy - adding "the" is desired. So, the answer should be "The economy must be efficient."
