Title
Russia: A Long View,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An important Russian economist and politician takes a long view of economic history and Russia's development.It is not so easy to take the long view of socioeconomic history when you are participating in a revolution. For that reason, Russian economist Yegor Gaidar put aside an early version of this work to take up a series of government positionsas Minister of Finance and as Boris Yeltsin's acting Prime Ministerin the early 1990s. In government, Gaidar shepherded Russia through its transition to a market economy after years of socialism. Once out of government, Gaidar turned again to his consideration of Russia's economic history and longterm economic and political challenges. This book, revised and updated shortly before his death in 2009, is the result.Gaidar's account of longterm socioeconomic trends puts his country in historical context and outlines problems faced by Russia (and other developing economies) that more developed countries have already encountered: aging population, migration, evolution of the system of social protection, changes in the armed forces, and balancing stability and flexibility in democratic institutions.This is not a memoir, but, Gaidar points out, neither is it written from the position of a man who spent his entire life in a research institute. Gaidar's long view is inevitably informed and enriched by his experience in government at a watershed moment in history.
