Russian Economic Catastrophe as War Focus Leads to Overheating & Shortages - Joe Blogs
In this video I look at the current state of the Russian Economy which is now severely overheated as a result of the switch to a War Economy. The rapid increase in investment into manufacturing for the war effort has resulted in an increase in output in war related products and shortages of other goods and has lead to price increases, rising labor costs and workforce shortages, all of which is putting long term pressure on the Russian Economy.
