Abstract

This book offers a moral economic critique of post-Soviet capitalism. In freeing markets from government regulation, neoliberalism enabled powerful economic actors to extract income by virtue of property rights that entitled them to a stream of income from mere ownership and control of existing scarce assets, including money credit, real estate and natural resources (Sayer 2015). Neoliberalism created and expanded the role of rent and unearned income in post-Soviet economies. Income extraction through interest, rent, dividends and capital gains was justified and normalised as part of the ‘free market’ system. Rent-seeking practices went beyond natural resource extraction and illicit public and private takings.
