Frontier: An Unauthorized Biography of the European Emerging Markets

by Jonathan Young

In 1989, Communism collapsed and for the first time, the businesses of eastern Europe came face-to-face with the other side - the City of London and Wall Street. Here is what happened next. This is the story of a 30-year rollercoaster of culture shocks, big personalities, rags-to-riches fortunes and a lot of accidents - a saga of daring ventures at the edge of capitalism, the warriors who braved the emerging markets battlefield and the re-making of a continent. And of what can go wrong, all too often, when east meets west.

I thought the book would be more comprehensive and it did speak in a blunt manner but that didn’t make it easier to understand. I got the main ideas but I wouldn’t recommend it to people without knowledge on the topic.
You can tell the text hasn’t been reviewed in depth. It had long sentences difficult to follow, some miss-typos, formatting errors.
I cannot judge of the veracity of the information either.
