The authors present a broad, detailed, and fair assessment of private equity the business of investing in established companies through debt financed purchases of controlling stakes. (By contrast, venture capitalists support start ups almost entirely through equity.)

Lenin once said that capitalists were so cynical that they would sell the Soviets the rope with which they would hang them. Lenin and communism have passed away, but that cynical indifference to suffering when profits are involved remains.

Since then, these islands have been controlled by either the Soviet Union or its successor state, Russia. And, as elsewhere in Russia, their residents have been impoverished by consistently incompetent and corrupt government, whether run by Communists or today s crony capitalists.

For anyone who believes in free markets, the most serious risk of the current situation is that the interest of a few financiers will undermine the capitalist system s fundamental workings. The time has come to save capitalism from the capitalists.

Many people object to business managers who take away in pay, bonuses, and stock options hundreds of millions of dollars from their companies. Indeed, there is a legitimate question whether the behavior of today s capitalists promotes the general acceptance of capitalism.

Instead, those who benefited from the regime s corruptions insisted that their rights to the property they had stolen were inviolate. These crony capitalists argue that, if they are left alone to develop their assets, they will make the country prosperous.

Such beliefs, of course, have been around for much longer than the modern state of Israel. Nineteenth and twentieth century European nationalists often regarded the US as the natural home for capitalists and rootless cosmopolitans without any loyalty to their native soil.

If the 2011 uprisings had not occurred, we would now be witnessing another year of autocracy, with more talk of dynastic successions.

Liberalization of the economy, the increase in per capita income, the change in family structure and growing consumerism, including on the part of the young population, have encouraged large businesses and manufacturers to move into retailing, with real estate companies and venture capitalists also investing in retail infrastructure.

Private venture capitalists cover their losses from failed investments with their profits from those that succeed but government programs are rarely set up to generate significant returns. While some argue that the government s return comes through taxes, the current tax system is not working, owing not only to loopholes, but also to rate reductions.

Lukashenko hopes that dramatic economic reforms will win Western support, disarm foreign and domestic critics, and achieve economic modernization under authoritarian rule. But he risks angering laid off workers and empowering inefficient crony capitalists, while moving too slowly to satisfy the desires of those who voted (and took to the streets to protest) against him.

For example, GDP per worker in the State of Nuevo León in Mexico is eight times that of Guerrero, while output per worker in the Department of Chocó in Colombia is less than one fifth that of Bogotá. Why would capitalists extract so little value from workers if they could get so much more out of them?

Some say we should not worry, that democracy and the market are now too well established in Ukraine to be replaced that reform is irreversible and that the country s ruling oligarchic clans, like those of Eastern Europe, will in time become law abiding capitalists. Alas, this view is based more on wishful thinking than on reality.
