theme №379 11.12.1999 (1999)

The theme of the program is life in the new economic conditions.

Our country has always been proud of its minds.

For example, we are the first to master the cosmos, and our literature is known and loved throughout the world.

Nevertheless, despite the high intellectual potential, we are not able to provide ourselves with even the most necessary.

Maybe because we are too lazy or we steal a lot?

Or maybe we're just too gullible?

In any case, it is unclear if we are so clever, then why so poor?

The guests of the program are trying to answer these questions: SPS leader Sergey Kirienko, director of the All-Russian Research Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Gurov, writer Georgy Vainer.

Experiments are discussed in the children's pioneer camp and with the consumer basket, low salaries of representatives of intellectual professions (doctors, scientists, teachers), as well as historical reasons for the inability of a Russian person to grow rich and live well.
