Más información sobre el libro

If sustainable growth is a key goal for the economy of every nation, its desirability is perhaps even more acute in Russia. Even President Medvedev argues that the country's heavy reliance on natural resources makes it primitive and uncompetitive, calling for innovation and diversification. Having analyzed the particular tenets of the economy that restrict sustainable growth, the authors argue that Russia should take advantage of its resources but move non-resource industries into regions that are closer to the market.
