Words are valuable. Try not to waste them, particularly since using ten words where three will do obscures your meaning.
These sentences are very clumsy to read:
- What is ignored in all the debate about the abandonment of the New Economic Policy is ...
- They used to rely on state funding, which gave money from central state funds to supply the agricultural areas with machinery for the harvesting of crops from the fields, and with the collapse of communism that has vanished and not been replaced with other kinds of funding, but the fact of the matter is that in the cities foreign investment from abroad has filled that gap and helped the urban areas to thrive and flourish.
- It is thus that we see that it is ...
Getting rid of the unnecessary words makes them much more elegant and clear:
- Ignored in the debate about the abandoning of the New Economic Policy is ...
- State funding for agricultural areas vanished with the collapse of communism and has not been replaced whilst foreign investment helps the cities to thrive.
- Thus we see ...
Sometimes, it's tempting to repeat the same information in different ways. That's what has happened in clumsy sentence 2 above, for example state funding means money from central state funds; no need to point out that crops are harvested from fields; cities are urban (no need to use both words). Repeated information is just padding and distracts from the point you're trying to make.
N.B. Anybody thinking of writing articles for journals or newspapers needs to be particularly good at weeding out padding. Editors don't appreciate it and if you don't tighten up your work yourself, a sub-editor will be let loose on it, with unpredictable results.
