Media Reviews
With a mix of practical experience and factual observation this book offers valuable contributions by key market makers and observers with a vision that, despite years of economic problems, Russia is finally on the right track, ensuring economic stability and creating an attractive market for investors. Professor Vladimir Mau, Director of the Working Centre for Economic Reform, the Russian Government Russia's crisis between 1997 and 2000 was one of the most difficult periods of economic and financial turmoil in Eastern Europe's post-Soviet history. This book provides a detailed overview by those economists and financiers who were actively involved. As such it provides an insightful guide to the causes and conclusions of Russia's financial crisis. Boris Nemtsov, Russian economist and politician The Russians say that whatever takes the rest of the world ten years to do, has taken one in Russia. Change has come at a blistering pace in Russia and perceptions of change in the rest of the world typically run at least 2 years behind the reality. The Wild East is a collection of essays from people that have stood at the centre of the whirlwind that has been Russia's evolution over the last decade and offers a fresh and informative insight into the changing face of the transformation of a country unprecedented in history.

Author Bio
Peter Westin works at ATON Capital Management and, prior to that, at the Swedish think tank SITE (Stockholm Institute of Transition Economics) which spearheads international initiatives to build centers for research and policy advice in transition economics. There, as part of the EU financed RECEP project (Russian European Centre for Economic Policy) he is responsible for the publication Russian Economic Trends, the world's leading publication on the Russian economy. Russian Economic Trends comments on current events and offers deeper analysis of Russia's underlying economic troubles. Peter assumed his post as Editor of Russian Economic Trends in July 1998, precisely when the severe financial crisis hit Russia. In this post, he quickly became one of Moscow's most sought-after commentators on the ups and downs in most areas of the economy. He gave monthly press conferences for an 18-month period, TV and radio interviews, and spoke daily with Russian and international media. A Russian expert by training, Peter Westin is SITE's Chief Analyst, charged with monitoring and analysis of the Russian economy.
