Ukraine is stuck in a vice of authoritarian neoliberal kleptocracy with fascicisation tendencies.
—Yuliya Yurchenko, Ukraine and the Empire of Capital: From Marketisation to Armed Conflict, (London: Pluto Press, 2018).
I am finding Yurchenko’s book interesting reading, and am struck by how difficult it is for American acquaintances to question conditions in the US in even remotely similar terms. Americans I know can’t even begin to discuss this.
