O knihe
During his nearly twenty years at the center of Russian political power, President Vladimir Putin has transformed his country-but not always for the better. The near chaos of the early post-Soviet years has been replaced by an increasingly rigid authoritarianism that resembles a hard-fisted monarchy more than the previous communist dictatorship. And while Putin's first years in power saw rapid economic growth of nearly 7 percent annually and the rise of Moscow as a vibrant European-style city, the economy today is stagnant, especially in the hinterlands, with few signs of a possible turnaround.
What happened? Sergey Aleksashenko lays the blame squarely on Putin himself. In his relentless drive to consolidate power in his own hands, Putin has destroyed the very idea of competition for political power, undercut basic political institutions, and undermined Russia's emerging and fragile system for protecting property rights. This in turn caused a sharp decline in private investment and contributed to the long-term economic slowdown.
In describing this trajectory, Aleksashenko offers universal lessons on the need for checks and balances and the importance of vibrant political institutions for economic growth.
