David states, “In recent years, Russia privatized nearly 200,000 businesses that employed 70 percent of the nation's workforce. Privatizing simply meant giving the firm to its workers. Being untrained and unorganized, these workers most often, in turn, gave the firm to the top directors, who have largely become rich barons. Imagine if Lee Iacocca had thought about nothing all day but how to steal from Chrysler. This is the situation in 90 percent of Russian businesses.”
