About this listen
A couple of weeks ago I reported on my impressions of my travels on the Silk Road, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. When I filed my report, I had not yet visited the last country on my itinerary, Turkmenistan. The first four Stans I visited seemed to be stumbling to some sort of accommodation with free market capitalism. In Turkmenistan, not so much. First the country has been cursed with abundant oil and gas wealth, all controlled by the government. Said government is a Republic in form but in practice is an autocracy controlled by the President who succeeded his father as President in 2022. It's hereditary one man rule. The legislature and judiciary rubber stamp the President's wishes.
