Private entrepreneurship in Ukraine: a history and analysis
Joseph Jack Place

Abstract
This article deals with the question of what kind of philosophical principles guide private entrepreneurship in Ukraine, and what are its strengths and weaknesses. There is evidence that a history of entrepreneurship is present in Ukrainian history. However, this private entrepreneurship has mostly eked out an existence despite overwhelmingly unfavourable odds. The question of guiding principles has had little time or space devoted to it. Nevertheless, there is a clear tendency to respond to corruption, and any other challenges, with increasing deregulation and removal of rights and protections. While encouragement of business ownership is desirable, the policies that Ukraine is undertaking create as many problems as they solve, are harmful to workers, entrepreneurs, for society, and stability – indicating that this is not a viable long-term strategy.
