apparent autonomy and structure
Formally, from a legal point of view, these companies operate independently from each other.At the same time, having an external management and financing, they form what we call "financial-industrial groups."Tellingly, despite the apparent autonomy of the company are focused on the implementation of specific tasks which can not be directly related to the requirements of economic growth in revenues.Financial capitalization often occurs due to the concentration of completely different resources.
Financial-industrial groups integrate the efforts of legal, insurance and financial companies, a number of alternative media resources and, of course, technology industries.What can unite them, except banal desire to earn the owner a little bit?Obviously, politics.Just at a certain business development requires not so much judicial and legal, as political and instrumental guarantees preserve the integrity of accumulated capital.And this is possible only in case of transformation of the industrial, financial, banking and other types of capital in the political capital, that is power.In fact, the decision of this problem and directed the activities of any of FIGs.

Financial and industrial groups in Russia
In principle, the PPG - a purely Russian phenomenon, which appeared due to the corresponding decree of the President of Russia in the second half of 1993.Initially, it was assumed that by creating similar groups state can quickly get rid of a succession of uncontrollable and largely unprofitable post-Soviet enterprises, and somehow regulate unhealthy, wild by nature competition.However, the mechanism of creation of PPG did not expect the formation mechanisms of "friendly integration", which triggered superplayer, occupy a dominant position in various market niches.Thus, instead of a controlled competitive environment have been created total monopoly controlling entire industries and sectors of the economy.And this, in turn, has led to at least a strong dependence of companies on the activity of state structures.It is thanks to the creation of their own political projects, they began to create the "necessary" lobbying political and administrative decisions.Thus was born the monopolistic economy.
