— A society based on human skills, on human capital, gives citizens the right and power to decide where and how they live. It does not necessarily mean that we should adopt the Swiss type of democracy (every dispute can only be resolved with a referendum — Ed.), but we can learn a lot from it. For example, the practice of referendums that allow local authorities to have more control over their budget and taxation. The federal structure of Russia, as well as the structure of Moscow — a gigantic metropolis — has reached a point when vertical management is no longer technically possible, when huge amounts of information are lost and cumbersome and non-transparent structures are created.
