Gil Feiler: Silk Road Rising, Gebunden

Klappentext

Four countries. One Soviet inheritance. Four very different paths. In 1991, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan inherited the same collapsing Soviet economy. Thirty-five years later, they sit at the heart of the Middle Corridor, the trade route linking China and Europe without passing through Russia, and they are drawing investors from Brussels to Beijing and the Gulf. In Silk Road Rising, economist and investor Dr. Gil Feiler tells how each country rebuilt itself: Georgia's radical war on corruption, Azerbaijan's oil wealth and search for a second engine, Kazakhstan's managed modernization and Uzbekistan's dramatic opening. He then compares them theme by theme, from banks and state companies to trade routes, great-power rivalry and migration, and closes with quantified scenarios to 2040. Inside you will find: Four country stories, from the chaos of the 1990s to October 2026 About twenty case studies, from Kaspi and SOCAR to Georgia's police reform and Uzbekistan's 2017 currency revolution Charts, tables and a timeline that make the numbers clear Practical guidance for investors and policymakers
