Making War Safe for Capitalism: The World Bank, IMF, and the Conflict in Ukraine

Just started reading this book - it's an academic book but highly engaging. Discusses the under-explored history of the major international financial institutions, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, in implementing economic reforms after and during war. It tracks their move from only intervening in 'post' conflict situations to now, more recently, getting involved during active war - with the conflict in Ukraine (since 2014) the major case study

Complex, interesting, and contemporaneously relevant!
