Privatization Debates in Russia: 1989–1992
This article focuses on the relation between economics and ideology. Privatization in Russia is used to demonstrate how much economists are influenced by their ideological concepts which often affect the minds of professionals much more than empirical data and theorems. I hypothesize that the ideology of privatization emerged as a necessary weapon in the fight against the totalitarian socialist state and its ideology of praising public property and central planning as necessary conditions for efficient economic growth.
