Putinomics

In "Putinomics," Chris Miller explores the evolution of Russian economic policy since Vladimir Putin's rise to power in 1999. Despite grappling with issues like corruption and over-reliance on oil, Miller argues that Putin's economic strategies have been surprisingly effective, leading to a quadrupling of per capita GDP in just over a decade. He examines how government policies have played a crucial role in this growth, allowing Russia to outpace other petro-states. This analysis not only makes complex economic concepts accessible to general readers but also enriches the understanding of contemporary Russia's political economy.
