Read it:
Mongolia's Constitution says its coal, copper and gold belong to its three and a half million people; this book follows who got them, 1990 to 2026. A state coal company whose former chief was imprisoned while nobody could say how much coal had left; a fund for small business that lent to officials' families; a development bank whose loans sent a sitting legislator to prison; copper contracts that American prosecutors allege bought two Manhattan apartments; a Swiss transfer in a finance minister's first month; a democracy hero's murder whose convicts were tortured. Covers B. Gankhuyag and Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi, S. Batbold and the Erdenet copper contracts, S. Bayartsogt and Oyu Tolgoi, Kh. Battulga and Genco, Yo. Baatarbileg and the Development Bank of Mongolia, and N. Önörtsetseg and Zarig.mn.
