'You cannot understand power, wealth and poverty without knowing about Moneyland.'
Simon Kuper, New Statesman
2019: democracy is eating itself, inequality is skyrocketing, the system is breaking apart. Why?
Because in 1962, some bankers in London had an idea that changed the world. That idea was called 'offshore'. It meant that, for the first time, thieves could dream big. They could take everything.
Join investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a journey into the hidden world of the new global kleptocrats.
See the poor countries where public money is stolen and the rich ones where it is laundered and invested. Watch the crooks at work and at play, and meet their respectable, white-collar enablers. Learn how the new system works and begin to see how we can tackle it.
"Eye-opening and essential ... Bullough has provided a model for how to tell a gripping and comprehensible story about a complex and crucial subject. You cannot understand power, wealth and poverty without knowing about Moneyland." - New Statesman
"A concise, confident book ... pacy, clever and entertaining ... if you still have any illusions about the wonders of liberated capitalism, Moneyland will probably cure you." - Guardian
"A darkly fascinating ride." - Sunday Times
"You cannot understand power, wealth and poverty without knowing about Moneyland." - New Statesman
"Praise for Let Our Fame Be Great:
With this impassioned volume [Bullough] has struck a blow for the glory of the Caucasus and helped to give a voice to the voiceless." - Financial Times
"Praise for The Last Man in Russia:
The Last Man in Russia might be compared to Colin Thubron's Among the Russians - perhaps the last book in English to come so close to pinning down the Russianness of Russia." - Independent
"The Last Man in Russia is distinguished by the excellence of its writing and its lucid, unsparing gaze." - Daily Telegraph
