It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality.

Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

"has written several popular books from that experience; Russian Business Relationships in the Wake of Reform, The Debt Threat: How Debt Is Destroying the Developing World, The Silent Takeover and IOU - the Story of the Debt"

This is highly misleading. Firstly, 'The Debt Threat' and 'IOU' are one and the same book. Secondly, 'Russian Business Relationships in the Wake of Reform' is a re-working of her Ph.D. thesis - not exactly a 'popular' book.
