When McDonald’s opened its Moscow location in the early ’90s, it signaled Russia’s transition to a market economy. But now corporations are pulling out over the war in Ukraine, and the Russian economy has been hollowed out by Western sanctions. Could the country be reverting to Soviet-era government interference? We’ll talk about it with the author of “Putinomics.” Later in the show: Why a federal gas tax holiday won’t ease much pain at the pump, and why ramping up U.S. oil production wouldn’t be an overnight fix either. Give today to support Marketplace.

When Vladimir Putin first took power in 1999, he was a little-known figure ruling a country that was reeling from a decade and a half of crisis. In the years since, he has reestablished Russia as a great power. How did he do it? What principles have guided Putin’s economic policies? What patterns can be discerned? In this new analysis of Putin’s Russia, Chris Miller examines its economic policy and the tools Russia’s elite have used to achieve its goals. Miller argues that despite Russia’s corruption, cronyism, and overdependence on oil as an economic driver, Putin’s economic strategy has been surprisingly successful.Explaining the economic policies that underwrote Putin’s two-decades-long rule, Miller shows how, at every juncture, Putinomics has served Putin’s needs by guaranteeing economic stability and supporting his accumulation of power. Even in the face of Western financial sanctions and low oil prices, Putin has never been more relevant on the world stage. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

About the Book: "Putin Watches Russian Economy Collapse along with His Economic Stature,” blared a headline in Time in late 2014. Yet three years have passed since the price of oil crashed in 2014, halving earnings on the product which once funded half of Russia's government budget. That same year, the West imposed harsh economic sanctions on Russia's banks, energy firms, and defense sector, cutting off many of Russia's largest firms from international capital markets and high-tech oil drilling gear. Many analysts—in Russia as well as abroad—thought that economic crisis might threaten Vladimir Putin's hold on power. It doesn't look that way now. Today, Russia's economy has stabilized, inflation is at historic lows, the budget is nearly balanced, and Putin is coasting toward reelection on March 18, giving him a fourth term as president. Putin has recently overtaken Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev as the longest-serving Russian leader since Stalin. How did he do it? This talk will examine Putin's economic policies and how they have supported his domestic and foreign policies.
