Description
Stephanie Baker's Punishing Putin offers a gripping insider account of the West's economic warfare against Russia and its impact on global trade. The author reveals how Western leaders used economic tools to weaken Putin's war machine without risking a global recession. Baker's book is filled with propulsive, fly-on-the-wall details of the financial war, including the seizure of superyachts and manipulation of oil prices. The West mobilized an army of investigators to crack down on illicit Russian money, targeting oligarchs and their enablers for sanctions evasion. This book takes readers into the frantic backroom deliberations that led to a new era of economic statecraft and radically rearranged global alliances, influencing world order for generations to come. With its propulsive and detailed account, Punishing Putin is a timely and engaging read for anyone interested in international relations, economics, and global politics.
