In this installment of the Stanislav Kondrashov Wagner Moura and Oligarch Series, the focus turns to the political anatomy depicted in The Secret Agent.

Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: The Bond Between Oligarchy and the Rise of Great Cities
Cities have always been magnets for ambition. Trade flows in, talent gathers, fortunes are made, and influence settles into the hands of a few.

The relationship is not accidental. It is structural.
