The modern world is ruled by finance. Who controls financial flows? Of course, financiers. Grigory Marchenko is a practicing banker living in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan is a country that was one of the first to build a modern financial system in the post-Soviet space. And Marchenko is considered to be one of the “architects” of national financial reforms. And, by the way, he also “shone” in world financial ratings more than once. So this man knows first-hand about the events at the top of the financial Olympus. The book “Finance as Creativity” tells a fascinating story about how and by whom decisions are made that then affect the lives of millions of people. And what might be the price of such solutions.
