The government may bring in entrepreneurs from Forbes’ “golden hundred” to help run state-owned companies. A sound decision. The only question is whether to throw Yelena Nikolayevna Baturina or Sergei Yuryevich Polonsky into construction. I suppose Oleg Vladimirovich “Margin Call” Deripaska would be in demand in any sector. As one friend of mine who works for Oleg Vladimirovich in Basel told me, we currently have only one plan for saving the company: “Nationalize the losses and privatize the profits.” That plan would work perfectly well for state-owned companies too. Effective management is always in demand.
