Shows how continuing misguided policies have entrenched a group of super-rich oligarchs, in alliance with an all-powerful presidency, while further undermining Russia's economic potential. This book covers topics that include the origins of the oligarchs, the deep penetration of crime and corruption in Russian society, and more.
In their 1996 book for Routledge - Revolution from Above - David Kotz and Fred Weir shed light on the oligarchs' emergence and pointed out that many of their number had ironically been influential under the Soviet regime. In this new book, the authors bring the story up to date and also examine the liberalization program that the IMF imposed on this once powerful country.
