It started out ok with the Kibbuz economic system. It worked quite well. As of today, I don't even know if there are any Kibbuz left.

There was so much written how the Nazi's came to power and how they financed "the rebirth of Germany".

MilitaryHistory

Fact is: As soon as the Nazi's came to power, "state finances" were no more made public. A state secret. Still, in the early stages, Germans bought "govenment Bonds", later only foreighn investors bought German Bonds. Convinced that the early advances of the German army (by plundering conquered countries) would assure the "health of the German state financial household" would remain stable or better.

And: The prizes of goods were fixed. No central bank to control money supply and interest rates.

I am amazed that basically no historians have investigated how you finance "Armaggeddon" and the world not knowing how it is done?

Read Adam Tooze's 'The Wages of Destruction'.

Describes how Germany survived the 20s as a bankrupt economy whose bonds were worthless to foreigners. Then went on to rearm and manage an increasingly militarized economy preparing for war. Brilliant read.

Putin is currently employing some of the same strategies though that is complicated by widespread sanctions. The Russian economy is now about 40% militarized.
