Episode notes
I had the opportunity to sit down yesterday with my colleagues Geoff Williams and Charles Dainoff to talk about the financial aspects of the Russia-Ukraine War. As some may recall we were writing a book on financial conflict when the war started, a book that now happens to be available in paperback. Here’s what we talked about:
What did we expect from the war and what didn’t we expect?
How have sanctions hurt russia?
The Russian mafia state and its implications for financial shenanigans
How have sanctions helped Ukraine?
The Weaponized InterdepenDANCE
Sanctions, coercion, and negotiation
The bureaucracy of sanctions and Elon’s purge
What to do with Russian assets abroad
There’s a lot here and I’m proud of how it turned out, so give a listen. Transcript is here.
