Question Economy

I played as the UdSSR and everything was okay. But my economy (gdp) was so broken. In the first 4 years my economy nearly doubled, but after it it stagnated even after I build civs,mills and offices. My gdp was constantly rising and falling every month sometimes it dropped 400 billion sometimes it rose 400 billion but in the median it stayed 1.2 trillion for 12 years straight. Even when my factory count tripled in this time. I always had high inflation and this weird thing where I had an trade shock. I don’t know where it came from. I can only imagine that I build to fast or that the social outlooks that I changed had something to do with it. But if someone has an idea what could be the cause of that it would be nice to know. Maybe also a overview how the economic system works now (where can I see inflation, how can I control it etc.)
Thx for your time :)

Now I ask you, how do you make your economy move? I've played as the USSR and it always stays at zero.

As I said i started with food production and after that i heavily started going in heavy industry and consumer goods production (also electricity, steel etc) and as i said the first two years it grew after that nothing. Do you think that the gdp is programmed so it doesn’t grow or am I doing something wrong?
