The DPRK after the Korean War had incredibly fast growth iirc

The standard of living was higher in the North until, I think, the 70s?

Not sure about DPRK but Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and China all had incredible growth at some points but none came even remotely close to the economic growth of USSR from 1929-1955 under Stalin’s Five-Year Plans.

The DPRK had a rapid recovery (thanks to its allies), but then went into a catastrophic crash in the '90s after the USSR was destroyed.
