After the Revolution — Economics of De-Socialization

06/03/2019 Kęstutis Baltramatis Yuri N. Maltsev

Kęstutis Baltramatis, chief privatization economist of the Lithuanian Council of Ministers, speaks of Lithuania’s plan to completely privatize industry and dramatically cut the size of the public sector. Especially notable is his revelation that Lithuania plans to welcome foreign entrepreneurs with no restrictions. Includes an introduction by Lew Rockwell, and features Yuri Matsev as translator. Presented by the Mises Institute at the Washington Court Hotel in Washington, DC, on 23 April 1990.

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard.

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
