Description
160 years have passed since the liberation of the serfs, but the legacy of serfdom still haunts the Russian economy and society. In regions where there were more serfs, today there is less consumption, and the origins of the negative attitude towards private property can be associated with the first privatization carried out by Peter Stolypin at the beginning of the 20th century. Professor of the Russian School of Economics (NES), co-director of the joint bachelor's degree program at NES and the Higher School of Economics Andrei Markevich talks about the legacy of the past and how to overcome it in the new episode of the podcast "Economics by ear".
The second season of the podcast was implemented with the support of the Russian Agricultural Bank.
