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.

"For many, the most authoritative history of US economic policy is told by Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz, in their 1963 PUP book, A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960, as well as Alan Meltzer's multi-volume history of the Federal Reserve, published in 2003 and 2010. Both works were written by economists marshalling historical data to make an argument about what type of economic policy works best. Friedman and Schwartz's book led to the rise of monetarism, the idea that virtually the only thing governments can or should do when it comes to the economy is determine how much money to put in it. If there aren't enough jobs, for example, just put more money in the economy through bank lending, and businesses will hire more. There's no need for the government, the theory holds, to stimulate spending from the bottom up or encourage hiring or improve wages through any other means. These days, the concept of monetarism, though still a predominant policy framework, is seen by many as a very particular and narrow viewpoint, but there's no authoritative book on the level of Friedman and Schwartz that sets the record straight. In A Monetary and Fiscal History of the United States, 1961-2021, economist Alan Blinder lays out the history of US economic policy since Friedman and Schwartz, through the wider lens of the interaction between monetary and fiscal policy. He shows, decade by decade, that a powerful influence that the government has on the economy is not just through how much money it puts in it (monetary policy) but through decisions on how money is spent (fiscal policy). In this book Alan Blinder shifts the narrative dominance from monetarism and interest rates to a shared influence of monetary and fiscal policy, and he shows how the government has long been using various policies to stimulate spending, ranging from tax breaks and credits to direct checks to citizens. He does this from an insider's perspective, offering an authoritative history of US economic policy from Kennedy to COVID"--
