Can we talk about economics? I wonder if there will ever be economists near the government, not just divers looking for the bottom, but economists looking for a way to surface. Maybe there are recipes for the recovery of the economy, but are there constraints like rocks dragging to the bottom? Who has an opinion?

Maybe the recipes for the recovery of the economy are known, but there are some restraints, like stones dragging to the bottom?

They won't. Let's talk about good things, today is apple salvation, let's celebrate the Polish apples.

See posts above. They are trained as surveyors and managers and paint such amazing pictures. As far as I know, there were one or two people in the Cabinet of Ministers with a professional background in the industry they lead. Vocational guidance is not at a high level.

Do you think that in order to get the economy out of the crisis you need some sacred knowledge which only a few people have?

No.

Everyone in government knows what to do and how to do it.

Dmitry Fedoseev:

They won't. Let's talk about good things, it's apple salvation today, remember the Polish apples.

E I have a Polish apple tree in my orchard. Nobody remembers the variety. The apples are sweet and keep for a long time without any chemicals.

What is standing in the way? Some people consider the lack of cheap Western loans to be one of the factors that hinder the development. But we have enough free currency of our own, we do not know where to put it. Iran recently received a $2 billion loan.
