The Drug Economy. Part 2. With Dr. Louise Shelley. A Special Report. Fentanyl is regarded as one of the most deadly drugs in the world and one of the major killers of Americans who abuse narcotics. In recent years, there has been an exponential growth of deaths from consumption of non-medically prescribed fentanyl. In 2016, synthetic opioids (primarily illegal fentanyl) were responsible for over 19,000 deaths, up from around 3,000 in 2010. In 2018, there were more than 31,000 American deaths attributed to consumption of synthetic opioids. Mexican drug cartels are flooding the US with mass quantities of counterfeit prescription pills including Fentanyl, often trafficked in pill form. China produces the main ingredient used to make fentanyl, smuggled by the Mexican drug cartels. Dr. Louise Shelley is Founder and Director of Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.

Diesmal im Gespräch mit dem Journalisten Armin H. Flesch über „Die Erben der Arisierung“. Wir haben über den Umgang heutiger Eigentümer*innen mittelständischer Familienunternehmen mit der NS-Vergangenheit ihrer Firmen und Familien gesprochen. Erinnerung und Wahrhaftigkeit sind von zentraler Bedeutung in einer Zeit, in der antisemitische Ressentiments zunehmen und bei Umfragen mehr als 50 Prozent der Befragten mit dem Begriff Auschwitz nichts anzufangen wissen. Zum Erinnern an die Zeit des Nationalsozialismus gehört auch die Aufarbeitung eines vergleichsweise wenig beachteten, aber bis heute nachwirkenden Verbrechens: Die „Arisierung“ genannte Enteignung der deutschen und europäischen Jüd*innen. Wir haben im Podcast über folgende Fragen diskutiert: Wer profitierte vom legalisierten Raub und Mord an Jüd*innen? Welche Bedeutung hat die „Arisierung“ für das Verständnis des Holocaust und der deutschen Gesellschaft vor und nach 1945 und welche konkreten Auswirkungen hat sie bis heute? Armin H. Flesch hat neben seiner unglaublich wertvollen Arbeit, die man auf seiner Webseite (arminhflesch.de) nachsehen kann, einige Bücher und Filme im Podcast empfohlen: - Das Buch Alice: Wie die Nazis das Kochbuch meiner Großmutter raubten - Buch von Karina Urbach - 'Vor Aller Augen': Die Deportation Der Juden und Die Versteigerung Ihres Eigentums : Fotografien Aus Lörrach 1940 - "Menschliches Versagen" – Film von Regisseur Prof. Dr. Michael Verhoeven Außerdem noch eine Buchempfehlung von mir: - Dirty Entanglements: Corruption, Crime, and Terrorism - Buch von Louise Shelley

Kieran talks with Louise Shelley, PhD, Director of the Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) at George Mason University, about how terrorist organizations are funding themselves by engaging in illicit trade finance, often in partnership with transnational criminal organization. During their discussion, Dr. Shelly, the author of numerous publications whose most recent book is “Dark Commerce: How a New Illicit Economy is Threatening our Future,” shares typologies and identifies some of the organizations, facilitators and financiers engaged in illicit trade. While crediting the financial services industry with taking steps to stem illicit trade, she calls on the industry and others to do more, not least by joining with law enforcement and others in effective public private partnerships focused on illicit trade.

To understand Russia's journey from Communism to kleptocracy in a generation, the best approach is to follow the money. At the heart of the story is something called ‘Reiderstvo'. This is defined as the illicit acquisition of a business or part of a business in Russia. It's similar to asset grabbing but whilst in 1990s Russia criminal gangs would use violence to steal what they could and bribe some officials to leave them alone, in modern day Russia it's no longer criminal gangs stealing money and businesses, it is the Russian state using the state apparatus, including the law, to steal. In this episode we explore the consequences of reiderstvo. It damages the growth of the Russian economy and discourages foreign investors from putting money into the country. So whilst the president of the largest country in the world makes his billions, the population of Russia, some one hundred and forty-four million people, live in abject poverty. This episode attempts to discover what it is that Putin really wants: money, power or both? We hear from Louise Shelley, Anders Alsund, and Mark Galeotti in order to find out where the money trail may lead. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
