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 long-term economic and political challenges. This book, revised and updated shortly before his death in 2009, is the result.Gaidar's account of long-term 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUsed Book in Good Condition\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49679200813296,"sku":"NEW0262017415","price":15.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/russia-a-long-view-by-gaidar-yegor","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
