Just finished Kleptopia by Tom Burgis, on the combined effects of globalization, & worldwide forces of corruption… and Kara Swisher’s last On podcast about Cyberwar with Nicole Perlroth, Michael Schmidt, & Lt. Col. Vindman… IMO they knew… but given it’s a Trump Putin regime, didn’t say anything

In Moneyland (@oliverbullough.bsky.social, 2019) or Kleptopia (@tomburgis.bsky.social, 2020), "theft is rewarded. Taxes are not paid. Law enforcement is impotent and underfunded. Regulation is something to be dodged." (Autocracy, Inc., 2024, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social)
Anyone who believed for even a millisecond, that Mone and her husband would pay the fine need psychiatric assistance.

That is not how the law works for wealthy people.

New Tom Burgis is in! His previous, Kleptopia, is well worth checking out

Thinking about facts this morning. I love this concise explanation of accurate, non-fiction storytelling from Tom Burgis' book, Kleptopia.

"From the Kremlin to Beijing, Harare to Riyadh, Paris to the White House, the trail shows something even more sinister: the thieves are uniting. And the human cost will be great."

Kleptopia. That's the book you need to read. There are others but to understand our world as it is, i cannot recommend another.

I am an economist with more than 20 years experience. Please. I beg you to read it.

Welcome to Kleptopia - the new New World Order. The new leaders would be well-advised to remember that everything and everyone comes under the wheel of time

I just finished Kleptopia, by Tom Burgis. A difficult read, because he hops around all over the place, but an absolutely searing indictment of corruption and all those who tolerate or enable it.

A tie between Kleptopia by Tom Burgis and Sandworm by Andy Greenberg.
I think you'd like them

Well, jeg ved ikke så meget om det, men der er godt nok en hel del russer der har købt ejendomme ved Trumps huse.

… listening to audiobook Kleptopia by Tom Burgis and am at Chapter 19. Fear… this is how unions are dealt with in kleptocracies… they are killed, tortured and their families threatened until they break and plead guilty… no longer believe this happens in other countries. tomburgis.com/kleptopia
