I'm curious what they base the assessment that Ukraine's economic outlook is not bad on.
It's ripe for some good old neoliberal shock therapy and mass privatization.
Poor fucks are gonna get it twice in 30 years.
Well, I'm Brazilian so I can tell you: they'll do it as many times as we allow them.
Since the 90s we had at least three neoliberal waves in Brazil with mass privatization and austerity measures, punctuated by center-left periods of "it's ok to enrich banks but let's at least guarantee that people can eat" periods.
