On November 7th, 1961 First Secretary of the Albanian Party of Labour Enver Hoxha criticized Soviet government under Nikita Khrushchev as revisionist. In the aftermatch Eastern Bloc cut all ties with communist Albania.
How he should steer Albanian economy during his reign (until 1985) to make it stronger? Assuming of course that bunkers would not be built in such insane quantity.
I thought about something like this:
Strenghtening agriculture by mechanization of state-owned and collective farms, popularization of fertilizers.
Agreement with Western countries and/or China about import of machines, machine parts and others (They could be self-efficent after that).
Strenghtening chromium industry.
Make some pro-Western policies. Something like: Maybe we are communist but we are against Soviet Union so they would be humiliated when you help us.
This guy saw Stalin as last communist ruler of Soviet Union and even Stalin cooperated with Westerners to build industry.
