Detailed explanation-1: -The NEP was introduced in order to aid the recovery of the ruined Soviet economy, and to quell the uproar amongst the urban and rural population. The NEP rolled back total state control of the economy, aiming for the Russian economy to become more independent.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the first view, NEP was abandoned because it was inconsistent with any further industrial development of a socialist kind, and its abandonment was therefore a rational economic decision.
Detailed explanation-3: -In many cases, the immediate effect of collectivization was the reduction of output and the cutting of the number of livestock in half. The subsequent recovery of the agricultural production was also impeded by the losses suffered by the Soviet Union during World War II and the severe drought of 1946.
Detailed explanation-4: -The biggest change between the old War Communism, and the New Economic Policy was the introduction of a tax-in-kind. According to a document put forth by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the tax-in-kind was percentage-based, progressive, and precisely timed.
