The Political Economy of Putin's Russia

This book constitutes an up-to-date treatment of Russia's economic development and economic policies since 2000, exploring how in spite of steep production decline, widening welfare differentials and increasing social uncertainty, the 1990s created many of the institutional and policy preconditions for a functioning market economy.
