There are no two countries with the same style of economic mechanism, with the same capitalism.

I'm communicating with the directors of the Soviet companies, and I see that it is wrong, but when I go to the official discussions, they discuss we should change the color of the walls.

For the producers, there was no reason to produce. You get money, but you couldn't use this money. For consumers, you could have money, but you have no way to use it because you go to the shop and see nothing.

The kind of capitalism I hate most is crony capitalism, the friends who decide. These are things which should be killed in Russia.

If I just produce the transparent ideal accepted by the Western experts, a process of privatization which will be very good but never happen, that means nothing.

The directors thought, They understand nothing in the real economy, in real life. They read some stupid books, and they came from the moon to the earth, and maybe in one month they will disappear.

There is a state that is able to understand the demand in the economy. That state should use prices as an instrument for implementation of this understanding.
