Why break the Russian economy in 1990?
Why the Russian government began to auction the jewels of the economy? why their economy in 1995 has failed? How does Russia sentenced with her?
the economy was broken long before he there were shortages of food and basic consumer goods since 1980, it happened b / c the Soviet government did not care military power, not its people. Privatization in 1990 was an attempt to resolve this issue, since private companies do try to keep consumers happy. Economy continued to decline by 90 b / c of inflation, weak contract enforcement, lack of trust between economic agents, asset stripping by private owners who felt they could lose their property before they can make profitable trades. 1995 was no different of the 1994 or 1996. Government default and devaluation of 1997 happened because the IMF has insisted that Russia would use its earnings to foreign investors instead of building the domestic economy.
