    Ukraine should ideally have the same efficient manufacturing infrastructure but they didn’t have a Putin to stop their shock therapy

      Most of postsocialist countries had one round of shock therapy, though with varying lenghts and intensify.

      Ukraine had four.

          Yeah, that’s the fourth one, since 2022-3 when the west started to openly loot them for war debts. Previous were 2014+, 2004+, 1991+
          Well you could count them as one huge shock therapy, but there were some pauses and tries to assert some sovereignity before 2004 and 2014 before west couped them again, and the newest one is something of a new quality of thorough plunder rather than “just” the ordinary shock therapy.
