Recommendation

Ukraine needs to start thinking now about how to pull off an economic rebound of epic proportions, says economist Noah Smith in this forward-looking essay. Its leaders should consider how best to achieve lasting economic self-sufficiency, raise the living standards of their population and protect the nation from further foreign aggression. Smith offers the thought-provoking examples of South Korea’s and Poland’s economic development as potential templates for Ukraine’s future.

Take-Aways

  • Ukraine’s reconstruction will require a bolstered economy.
  • Ukraine’s strengths in agriculture and defense manufacturing alone will not elevate its economy onto the world stage.
  • The cases of Poland and South Korea should be part of Ukrainian policy makers’ playbook.
