Unabridged Audiobook
Insightful, with many case studies on money laundering shemes, illicit business empires and their connection to offshore banking and collusion. A must read for anyone interested in contemporary Central Asia or the post-soviet condition. Far from capitalizing on the region's alleged peripherial status, the study emphazizes the interconnectedness of the political regimes, transnational finance and policy shaping or international governing bodies and law making. In a way, it's also entertaining. Yes, there's a lot on Gulnora Karimova and the likes, who amassed riches beyond what you could even fathom.
