Abstract
The paper is devoted to the analysis of civil society's positive influence on any country's economic development. In addition to well-known arguments, at least two extra mechanisms exist: civil society organizations produce goods that other organizations (business and public) don't; civil society organizations increase the bargaining power of citizens in their interaction with business and state and enhance the resource allocation efficiency.
