Summary

Reluctant Capitalists examines Russia's plodding, sometimes painful, journey toward a free-market. The book begins in 1990 with the end of Perestroika and the transition to Yeltsin's economic polices and continues through the end of the decade and the transfer of power to Vladimir Putin. Randall interviewed over seventy managers of thirty companies from St. Petersburg to Nizhy Novgorod to Moscow, Minsk, and Belarus. Russia is still caught in a downward spiral, with a declining standard of living, declining productivity, and more capital leaving the country than being reinvested in it. Through case studies, interviews and first-hand observation, Randall tells us of Russia's economic troubles and offers suggestions for making market reform work.
