Export growth was probably insufficient, income distribution was probably insufficient - but neither of those is the same as economic growth.

Ok granted... I didn't read the post responded to thoroughly enough, and it was inaccurate as phrased. I suspect the deficiency was more a lack of precision than a lack of substance.

While economic growth per se may not have been a major factor, government's inability to sustain the massive wheat subsidy certainly was, and the widespread perception of an entitlement to cheap bread is going to be a significant issue that subsequent governments will have to address.
