Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Russia's Crony Capitalism by Anders Aslund A penetrating look into the extreme plutocracy Vladimir Putin has created and its implications for Russias future FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description A penetrating look into the extreme plutocracy Vladimir Putin has created and its implications for Russias future "Full of insight and informed judgment, former diplomat Anders Åslund takes aim at the authoritarian kleptocracy and the inner circles of power."—John Lloyd, Financial Times This insightful study explores how the economic system Vladimir Putin has developed in Russia works to consolidate control over the country. By appointing his close associates as heads of state enterprises and by giving control of the FSB and the judiciary to his friends from the KGB, he has enriched his business friends from Saint Petersburg with preferential government deals. Thus, Putin has created a super wealthy and loyal plutocracy that owes its existence to authoritarianism. Much of this wealth has been hidden in offshore havens in the United States and the United Kingdom, where companies with anonymous owners and black money transfers are allowed to thrive. Though beneficial to a select few, this system has left Russias economy in untenable stagnation, which Putin has tried to mask through military might.
