Summary
An Economist Politics and Current Affairs book of the year.
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. This is the story of wealth and power in the 21st century. It isn't too late to change it.

Good story but does not
Good story but does not follow the book word for word. I like to buy audiobooks to read with the physical book.
The physical book consists of 20 chapters. The first chapter is not the same as the audible.
From chapter 2-18 they are identical word for word.
Chapter 19 only the first few paragraphs and then this is where this audible book ends.
There is still chapter 20 which is not included in this audible book.

Exposed
Very insightful and sadly shameful that many super wealthy don’t want to share the load.
Pity there is so little that governments choose to do about the problem

A sinister tale wonderfully told
What an eye opener.
I thought i understood all there was to know about "offshore" and all that goes with it but this book took my understanding and appreciation to a different level.
Marvellously entertaining whilst at the same time informative and thought provoking.
First class.

Quid pro quo,Boris and Trump
With a gossipy clarity this jargon-free book shows who hides money where. It matters because health systems looted by corruption (you fill inyour own blanks)) devastate the porest. Going on to all the things a proper taxation system funds you can see how the last 10 years here have been so destructive. The rhetoric presents the camouflage real political cruelty needs. S rapid Brexit might also have the effect of escaping EU changes of regulation in this area. Sovereignty my foot!

Fascinating
This book was thoroughly fascinating, concerning, frightening and saddening all rolled into one.
(On performance I deducted a point as Oliver Bulloughs narration was great, but drop the attempts at accents Oliver...)

The definitive book on why hidden money is a cancer on everyone
An incredible expose on dirty, hidden money and the rules that are bent, broken and evaded if you have lots of money but no morality. Top class.

super super super
could not put it down all the way to the end.. A book that exposes the murky world of money land and its culprits. It reveals we have a lot of work to do ro bring about a lot more of an equitable world.
