| | Finance & Development, September 2000 - Book Reviews |
| | Andrei Shleifer and Daniel Treisman set out to evaluate the reforms of the 1990s by reviewing the reformers' political tactics. | | | Still, the tax reform is treated too narrowly in the book: tax- sharing arrangements should be reformed in the context of general reform of the fiscal federal model, which should include changes in both expenditure and tax sharing as well as in budget transfer mechanisms. | | | Stakeholder analysis is especially useful because it allows the reader not only to enjoy the authors' fascinating perspective but also to question their assumptions about the politically feasible alternatives and whether the benefits were worth the costs to the reformers and society at large. |

| | To be fair, neither Chubais nor Shleifer expected that their policies would lead to so many factory managers becoming owners, or to the birth of the oligarchs. | | | Thus, while they spend considerable time on how to create a coalition of supportive stakeholders that will outmaneuver opposing stakeholders, they barely acknowledge that many, if not all, of the obstructive stakeholders had become stakeholders because of the early but misguided privatization efforts (there is one scant acknowledgment that this might have occurred on p. | | | By framing the challenge in such a manner, future reformers are more likely to consider how coalitions will be formed which will support rather than oppose the changes they seek. |

| | CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times |
| | Suffice it to say that Shleifer is not a proponent of state-guided reform. | | | Which brings us to Shleifer's third theme: Successful reform needs less, not more government (but not no government, since laws and regulations are required for markets to function). | | | I do not dispute his overall conclusion that the oligarchs tended to promote investment and growth in their stewardship of Russia's private sector, outperforming their state counterparts. |

| | Andrei Shleifer was program director of HIID’s “Russia Project,” when he invested in various Russian markets, and helped Farallon invest there. | | | Shleifer claimed that he was exempt from the conflict of interest clauses because he was not an employee of HIID but rather a consultant. | | | Shleifer and Zimmerman received a list of the investments made on their behalf, which included stock in various Russian companies and Russian GKOs. |

| | A Federal judge ruled that, by quietly investing on their own accounts while advising the Russian government, Harvard professor Shleifer and his Moscow-based assistant Jonathan Hay had conspired to defraud the US Agency for International Development (USAID), which had been paying their salary. | | | It was in 1992, after Congress passed the Freedom for Russia and the Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Market Support Act, that USAID hired Harvard to provide consultants to the Russian government to help design institutions favorable to democratic government and a market economy. | | | "Tellingly" wrote the judge, "Shleifer did not ask Butler whether he could invest in Russia." And so it was, by making the loans and thereby financing the Pallada scheme, that the two men caused the submission of a false claim. |

| | Shleifer and Harvard were found liable for combined penalties of nearly $30 million in 2004 after they were charged with defrauding a U.S. government program designed to help Harvard economists privatize the Russian economy in the 1990s. | | | It seems pretty clear from Matthew Yglesias and the Chronicle of Higher Education articles that the main issues were not those of political correctness, as Alan Dershowitz would have us believe, but more mundane issues of university governance, as Timothy Burke comments. | | | The second was that AID money had been used to fund analysts doing due diligence for Bracebridge-Farallon investments. |
