Summary:
Bullough reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. He demonstrates that many elements of modern Britain have been put at the service of the world's oligarchs. The Biden administration is putting corruption at the heart of its foreign policy, and that means it needs to confront Britain's role as the foremost enabler of financial crime and ill behavior. By laying bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, Bullough calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally. -- Adapted from Amazon info.
