Certainly if the author readily admits his naivety towards a system plagued by corruption, its sense of impunity as a foreigner in Russia, it will perhaps not far enough into self critical and dare not mention that it could be simply driven by greed and a big ego. Regardless, the book's message is simple, and it illustrates how money does not buy happiness, but rather the commitment that we can take towards others.
Bill Browder's narrative portrays a Russian economic system more or less capitalist, totally corrupt, violent and cynical, which benefits from the hypocrisy of much of the rest of the world when it comes to launder money from various traffic oligarchs in place. It is also invigorating life lesson, I would summarize a quotation when, early in the book, he describes the relief of being forcibly returned on a plane to London instead of being taken away, as it has fear, wallow in a Russian prison. "Win or lose money by hundred million offered nothing comparable"
