Russia is Eurasia’s keystone economy
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. situates Dr. Sergei Glazyev’s new study of Russia in its global context. LaRouche writes that Glayzev’s “most urgent practical recommendations, as we may observe in this instance, are so compelling, by their combined nature and competence, that no rational person should consider his proposed key remedies as subjects for dilution by today’s customary diplomatic (i.e., irrational) form of political compromise.”
