"The Fruits of Enlightenment” (The New Russian Economic Science at the Threshold of the Third Millennium)
While for the whole world the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the third millennium was the year 2000, for Russia the line between eras came nine years earlier. In 1991, the Soviet era ended and a new one began, which (for lack of anything better) is still called the post-Soviet era. This line was also a period of �changing milestones� for Russian economic science. The tenth anniversary of the �demise� of the Soviet political economy and the birth of its successor - Russian economic science - will possibly be marked in a year as well. Even though the new Russian economic science is truly childlike in age, the approach to this round date requires a summation of the results of its development in its �childhood,� and, simultaneously, the planning of a program of further �maturation.� This survey naturally makes no claim to being exhaustively complete: we are just trying to ascertain the trends that have been noted in the development of the new Russian economic science.
