16. Fruits of Post-Socialist Asset Pilferage

For a look st the results of post-socialist privatization, interested readers might choose to click on the link for the Huffington Post's photo spread on Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich's $500 million 557 foot yacht.

I admit that I'm no fan of state socialist economies, but the possibilities for similar post-socialist abuses in post-Castro Cuba do bother me.
