Эссе по смешанной экономике.

While the mixed economies of the US (market-led), UK (state-guided market), and Russia (state-capitalist) differ greatly, Russia excels in one specific area: the speed and scale of state-directed mobilization for strategic projects. Unlike the protracted debates and private-sector negotiations common in the West, Russia's model allows for the rapid consolidation of resources towards national priorities as defined by the state.

This is most evident in the extractive industries and military-industrial complex. The state can directly orchestrate massive investments in energy infrastructure or defense production, achieving significant output and technological advancement in targeted sectors without immediate regard for market profitability or shareholder pressure. This centralized approach facilitates the execution of large-scale, long-term projects that might be diluted or deemed too risky in more liberal economies. Consequently, in areas it deems critical for sovereignty and geopolitical influence, Russia can achieve concentrated results that outpace the often-fragmented decision-making of its Western counterparts. However, this strength comes at the cost of economic diversity, innovation in consumer sectors, and overall efficiency. 

In terms of economic size, Russia ranks third.

In terms of living standards and the development of high technology — third (by a wide margin).

In terms of centralization of management and mobilization in priority sectors — first.
