What did Glenny say about McMafia?
Under communism all prices were regulated by the soviet union, and after it fell most commodities were deregulated
russians with wealth could buy the regulated goods and sell them internationally for up to 40x more, which created a new ruling class
The collapse of the communist state also led to disorder and people turned to mafias to protect their wealth, these were purely economic formed in self-interest, and could move wealth internationally
