Description of The Russian Public Debt and Financial Meltdowns

The book examines the history of Russian finances that played a very important role in the period of Russia's transition from communism to capitalism in the 1990s and in the 2000s. Andrey Vavilov presents his experiences and observations both as a researcher and as a practitioner involved in fiscal policy and strategic decisions on state debt during this period. He focuses on obstacles to radical market reforms and macroeconomic policy choices that resulted in the state debt expansion, and the financial crisis of 1998, examining the subsequent major impact on economic and political trends of Russia in the recent decade. This book is essential reading for all interested in political economy, transitional economics and European economics.
