Friedman on why Putin blinked when he realized the costs of impulsive emotional policy making for Russia's economy and his legacy of economic progress
05/27/2014
Putin's early reactions to Yakunovych, corruption and poor leadership in Ukraine, and anti-Russian feeling in western Ukraine, were emotional and impulsive. The Crimean takeover was perceived very differently and gained Putin poor media coverage in Germany after decades of effort in building German-Russian relations, surely not worth what was gained in Crimea. The capital outflows estimated to reach $160 billion at one point and the damage to foreign investment sentiment at a time of sharp economic slowdown must rate as one of the poorest displays of policy making, when Russian speaking Ukrainians could be protected without damaging Russia's image and relations with western partners. Relationships needed for modernization of what is still an emerging market in a global economy. Even in a multipolar economic world with China, Russia playing a bigger role, other competing players Japan and India, would dilute any influence gained by China, and by Russia, and no change in the global economy. A more serious effort would be for Putin to have pushed to give Russia a more effective economic role by diversifying to a tech based economy, away from oil, something that still awaits Russia under some future leadership and party.

The focus shifts to productivity of capital and cost improvements at large mining companies after the period of higher prices is over for commodities in 2012-2013. Large capital writedowns have created a crisis of confidence with investors. Large projects remain incomplete, making the process of reducing capital expenditures a gradual one.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
