Spend an evening in the company of one of Britain’s leading investigative journalists Oliver Bullough as he discusses his latest book, Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won – a wildly entertaining exposé of the dark financial secrets at the heart of the global economy.

Everybody Loves Our Dollars: How Money Laundering Won:

Without the existence of money laundering, few crimes of acquisition would be worth the trouble. South America’s drug cartels would be stranded without it, as would Nigerian kleptocrats, Afghan terrorists, American tax evaders, and a whole bestiary of human (and animal) traffickers the world over. And yet, estimates of the dirty portion of world GDP have held steady at 2–5% for decades. All efforts at legislation, diplomacy, prosecution, and compliance have been a complete flop. It’s not a lack of will to stamp it out -it’s a lack of insight.

In Everybody Loves Our Dollars, Bullough takes readers on a perspective-altering adventure through the flipside of the global economy, revealing why the system works so well for those who exploit it and why it’s time for that to change.

Oliver Bullough is the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers Butler to the World and Moneyland, as well as two acclaimed books about the former Soviet Union: The Last Man in Russia and Let Our Fame Be Great. His journalism appears regularly in The Guardian, The New York Times, and GQ.
