Divine violence Book

My reading has fallen off a cliff...first book read since July something...finished October something...notes I scribbled while reading: the political/economic events reminded me of our own failings...rich ever richer at the expense of the middle and the bottom..."wild capitalism"...ethnic strife which amounts to our racial battles...my three stars are for the noble effort...the writing needed an editors sharp knife...the theme, "two objects of strife, women & money" pg. 168 - worth pondering how that same issue pops up in our own Land of the Free (and Benighted)...we are better off, not having your life savings wiped out by fiat (the transition from the rouble to the tenge) is no small matter. all in all a depressing read - Kazakhstan has moved on without civil war (as long as the strongman Nazarbaev lives) wonder what will happen here. Cripes, we have millions following a pied piper honking on a duck call. Lord love a duck (face palm)...
