Neoliberalismneoliberalism created and expanded the role of rentrent and unearned incomeunearned income in post-Soviet economies. Income extractionincome extraction through interest, rentrent, dividends and capital gains was justified and normalised as part of the ‘free marketfree market’ system. Rent-seekingrent-seeking practices went beyond natural resource extraction and illicit public and private takings.
