Zusammenfassung:Undaunted by the potholed road the Russians are traveling towards a market economy, Marshall Goldman here explains not only what has happened under Boris Yeltsin, but also what is likely to happen next in the most enigmatic nation in the world
Trenchant analysis combined with first-person reporting is a Goldman hallmark; in Lost Opportunity he provides the clearest picture yet of how Boris Yeltsin took on the task of reforming the Russian economy. Unlike Mikhail Gorbachev, Yeltsin was won over to the idea of shock therapy, administered by Yegor Gaidar, a young economist eventually appointed acting prime minister. Gaidar did not push economic reforms alone
He was encouraged and supported by Western economists, including some who had advocated similar tactics in the former Soviet satellites. But as Goldman starkly reveals, the Russian economy, beset by supply blockages that left goods scarce and prices high, lurched from one unsuccessful quick fix to another
