Interesting article. It fails however to mention a few things that I find quite interesting. It speaks of the Yeltsin billionaires yet makes no mention of Putins source of power and what he was doing in this time period.
It mentions the telecom billionaires in Mexico yet says nothing about the Guatamalian drug gangs working their way north and Militarizing all mexcican police forces along the way. Even in the tiny villages. The Guatamalian drug gang leaders were originally trained at the school of assains in fort benning georgia.
