THE #BALTICS ARE DYING as young people leave for Europe & Soviet infrastructure falls apart - Belarusian Security expert #Tish

“THE #BALTICS ARE DYING“ as young people leave for Europe & Soviet infrastructure falls apart - Belarusian Security expert #Tishenko. But don't just take his word for it - there is a theoretical concept behind such stagnation. As German economist Friedrich List wrote - states in vastly different stages of economic development cannot equally integrate. Integration into the European economic space of post-Soviet countries is impossible without weakening & ultimately “sucking out“ their economic potential. Integration & equal growth is only possible for economies that are close in their levels of development, or are being brought to a similar level. Following this theory - economic cooperation blocks like the Eurasian Economic Union is preferable to full integration into alliances. Boost us here @IntelRepublic Source: Intel Republic
