Description
Britain's modern economy has a peculiar role to play. By the late 1950s, it had already found its purpose, donning a distinctive costume that the rest of the world hadn't yet noticed. Investigative journalist Oliver Bullough explores how the UK has become a nation of enablers for the world's worst offenders: oligarchs, kleptocrats, and gangsters. The UK's financial services are a marvel of chicanery, and Bullough delves into the world of ruinous addictions that Britain has become a haven for. He examines the celebrated legal code that underpins this nation, revealing what it really stands for. This book is a thought-provoking look at Britain's modern economy and its complex relationships with the world's most unsavory characters.
