The Georgians appear to want to go with the pros. Why settle for amateur statists and progressives?

I was employed in an enterprise in the EU to help France privatize their industries. The regulations there are killer for an economy like Georgia with a lot of small farms. The EU membership would have ruined Georgian farmers and caused a lot of small farmers to sell off to big consolidated firms.

The EU is not socialist - again - they make countries sell off govt owned assets - but they are a bureaucratic and regulatory nightmare that can ruin a small business.
