How Capitalism Was Built compares the post-communist transitions country by country and argues that fast liberalisation with early stabilisation produced better outcomes than gradual reform. Russia's Crony Capitalism follows the money from those reforms into a state organised around asset seizure and offshore ownership, which is the operating environment for anyone holding assets in the region.
