Russia’s Economy Continues to Underperform
Nearly three decades after the collapse of communism, Russia increasingly abuses individuals’ economic and property rights, thereby reducing the attractiveness of the country at home and its global competitiveness abroad. With time, these developments may have serious and long-lasting economic, political, and social consequences, including civil unrest and unpredictable political upheaval. Absent reforms to spur stronger and more widespread economic growth, Russians are likely to continue losing hope and faith in the future of their country. Russia may soon see a rapid deterioration of its existing economic and human capital, putting a further drag on its economic prospects. Western governments have little room for maneuver to influence directly the behavior of the Russian government. Western governments should maintain NATO unity, isolate the Russian government internationally, and counter Russia’s covert influence abroad.

Spin Control: Elway Poll shows rural, urban voters divided on issues, each other
When politics gets boiled down to a fight of us vs. them, how the “us” believe the “them” think about “us” could be a key to elections. Or so a new survey of Washington voters by the Elway Poll seems to suggest. It looked at one of the most enduring features of the state’s political furniture, the Cascade Curtain, and which group of voters think other groups of voters regularly “diss” them. It also looked at the landscape for the 2018 congressional races and found some good indicators for Democrats in Western Washington. In Eastern Washington? Not so much.
