About this product

Product Information

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.

  • Revealing and Relevant

    Shocking and highly relevant now. The Brits sure made it easy for the Oligarchs to squirrel their money away. The Conservatives who have been in power for 12 years saw to that. And to untie the Gordian knot, that off shore has imposed, will be expensive to slice through. But hopefully that will happen. Putin is a trillionaire and it will take 19 years to see Russian corruption curbed. However this book goes into other countries with dictatorships. A tragedy that human beings can be so corrupted. Brilliantly researched and shows where there is no moral compass.

  • Read this and have your mind opened.

    This is a very compelling book, written like a novel, a thriller almost but is in fact, a non-fiction mind opening exposure of the movement of money and the ability of the extremely wealthy to exist out side both moral and actual law.
