This book presents theoretical and empirical investigation of economic growth in Russia. The sharp decline in the national production that Russia endured in the 1990s, linked directly to the exhausting and ill-planned transition from the planned economy to the market economy, resulted in Russia plunging into the poverty trap. The goal of this book is to determine whether and how Russia manages to overcome the poverty trap and initiate and sustain economic growth. This book fills the gap between the volatile economic growth as an objective economic reality of Russia and the lack of scholarly literature on the issue. This study identifies the place and role of foreign aid in economic growth in the market-type post-transitional Russian economy and concludes that foreign aid does not play any significant role in the national economy, contrary to what would follow from the classical poverty trap theory, considered, reviewed, applied and tested in this study. Development economists should not overestimate the role of foreign aid in overcoming the poverty trap in those developing economic systems that are currently not in equilibrium and only move toward their steady state. The book will be of interest to those who want to learn more about specific problems in Russia’s newly built capitalism, the country’s perspectives and its current semi-peripheral status. The book will also be an excellent supplement for students in Russian studies programs, as well as for investors who want to do business in Russia and try to understand the country’s domestic economic conditions and processes.

This book presents a theoretical and empirical investigation of predatory raiding in Russia. Predatory raiding in Russia is the process of depriving lawful owners of their businesses and property with the help of criminal methods, including corruption, fraud, and violence, wrapped in the clothes of legality. The book argues that significant changes in value of corporations, property, and land in Russia incentivize predatory raiders. The appreciation of economic assets influences predatory raiders’ decision-making regarding the selection of potential targets for hostile takeovers. Unlike Western corporate raiders, who target weak companies in financial distress, Russian predatory raiders target primarily the most profitable, lucrative or economically promising companies, as well as private and public property, and land. Russian predatory raiders give clear preference to non-economic instruments for staging hostile takeovers. These comprise legal battles, corruption, fraud, intimidation and violence. Russian predatory raiders are distinctive for their frequent use of force, threat of force, or violence, as applied to businesses and property owners. This research relies on extensive video footage of violent hostile takeovers to draw inferences about the phenomenon of predatory raiding in Russia. In defining the perspective directions for the corporate predatory raiding movement and the anti-raiding campaign, the process of re-valuation of assets may be more important than the mass privatization of the 1990s.

Economics of Sustainable Growth
Structuralism, Dependency Theory, and Sustainable Development Goals

This book investigates the theories motivating and initializing sustainable economic growth in developing and transitional economies, integrating classical, neoclassical, and endogenous growth theories with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), synthesizing economic structuralism, dependency theory, and poverty trap frameworks to explore the transition from exogenous to endogenous growth models. The book explores the role of human capital, industrialization, and institutional reform.Rejecting the dominance of mathematical modeling and regression analysis, the book returns to the roots of economic theorization, drawing on historical and contemporary scholarship to examine the structural constraints that hinder sustainable development. It critically assesses the applicability of early economic thought—from mercantilism and physiocracy to classical political economy—and modern growth paradigms to the realities of underdevelopment, resource dependency, and global inequality.The book engages with the SDGs as both policy frameworks and aspirational targets, offering a grounded critique of their feasibility and implementation. It highlights the disconnect between global development agendas and the structural realities of low-income economies, arguing for a renewed focus on industrial modernization, human capital accumulation, and endogenous innovation.Rich in interdisciplinary insight, this volume is written for scholars of development economics, international political economy, and sustainability studies, as well as policymakers and practitioners working in global development. It is particularly relevant for those seeking to understand the theoretical underpinnings of sustainable growth and the structural transformations required to achieve it.
