Description
Summary:"In this book on the Russian economy, David Woodruff argues that Moscow's inability to control the nation's currency is not a carryover from the Soviet past. Rather, the Russian government has failed to build the administrative capacity and political support demanded by monetary consolidation - a neglected but crucial aspect of capitalist state building."
