About the seminar:
The Russian economy has gone through two challenging years. It is caught in persistent stagnation, but thanks to a skillful macroeconomic policy, the economy has stabilized. The so-called systemic liberals are in charge of macroeconomic policy, while President Vladimir Putin allows state corporations, cronies, and law enforcement agencies to dominate the corporate economy. This economic model leaves little room for economic growth, but the Soviet Union taught us that a suboptimal system can last for a long time, as long as it is not overwhelmed by acute financial crisis.
Languages of the seminar: English (simultaneous translation to Polish will be provided).
