Description
Luxury and Corruption Challenging the Anti-Corruption Consensus by Tereza Østbø Kuldova, Jardar Østbø, and Thomas Raymen explores the connection between luxury and corruption. Recent years have seen widespread images of corrupt oligarchs and kleptocrats, fueling feelings of injustice and a desire to purge dirty money from economies. However, anti-corruption efforts often fail, and this book offers an alternative perspective on tackling corruption. By examining luxury art, antiquities, superyachts, and populist politics, the authors challenge the conventional wisdom on how to address corruption. This book provides a fresh analysis of the relationship between luxury and corruption, shedding new light on the complex issues surrounding anti-corruption efforts.
