Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman 1899 FBF: Ben Mezrich - Dangerous Putin - Is Russia Living in a State of Crony Capitalism and Do Rich Russians Invest in the U.S.
Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 547, published last July 27 2015.
Vladimir Putin's rise to the top is a Shakespearean drama. Putin the President was created by a group of wealthy businessmen to replace Boris Yeltsin. While believing they found a man who aligned with their own desires to keep the money at the top, Putin had different ideas. He successfully brought down elite families who disagreed with his politics. Russians embraced the leader and made him one of most popular Russian presidents of all time. Ben Mezrich shares his journey of writing his latest book, soon to be movie, Once Upon a Time in Russia.
