A gripping tour of global hidden corruption

If you like sharp investigative nonfiction, this feels both eye-opening and strangely thrilling. Bullough takes a huge, murky subject and makes it readable through vivid stories of kleptocrats, enablers, and the systems that protect them. You come away not just angrier, but clearer on how dirty money shapes the modern world and why fighting it still matters.

Description

Once upon a time, if an official stole money, there wasn't much he could do with it. He could buy himself a new car or build himself a nice house or give it to his friends and family, but that was about it. If he kept stealing, the money would just pile up in his house until he had no rooms left to put it in, or it was eaten by mice.And then some bankers in London had a bright idea.Join the investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a journey into Moneyland - the secret country of the lawless, stateless superrich.Learn how the institutions of Europe and the United States have become money-laundering operations, undermining the foundations of Western stability. Discover the true cost of being open for business no matter how corrupt and dangerous the customer. Meet the kleptocrats. Meet their awful children. And find out how heroic activists around the world are fighting back.This is the story of wealth and power in the 21st century. It isn't too late to change it.
