Recenzje

We live in a golden age for kleptocrats. The governments and firms that control the supply of petroleum-the world's most valuable commodity-have enjoyed 20 years of windfall profits. In this gripping, deeply-informed, book, Alex Gillies reveals the intricate deceptions, unwitting enablers, and extravagant fraud that has turned this oil into staggering wealth, power, and corruption. This is a uniquely enlightening book with a wealth of insights about how these crimes happen and what we must do to fix them."-
