In November 1917, Lenin issued the Decree on Workers' Control, which called on the workers of each enterprise to establish an elected committee to monitor their enterprise's management.[202] That month they also issued an order requisitioning the country's gold,[203] and nationalised the banks, which Lenin saw as a major step toward socialism.[204] In December, Sovnarkom established a Supreme Council of the National Economy (VSNKh), which had authority over industry, banking, agriculture, and trade.
