THE ENABLERS

HOW THE WEST SUPPORTS KLEPTOCRATS AND CORRUPTION-ENDANGERING OUR DEMOCRACY

Roman& Littlefield

The Financial Times, Summer Books, 2022

In his “best mid-year reads” Economics Editor Martin Wolf highlighted THE ENABLERS - He wrote:
“Frank Vogl has been a campaigner against the evils of corruption for decades. In this punchy and sobering book he explains not just how pervasive it now is, but that Western governments, businesses and professionals enable the kleptocratic regimes behind much of it. This is not just a bad thing in itself. It is a threat to the legitimacy and perhaps the survival of our democracies. The “klepto-cash” flooding into our economies is a poison that weakens us and strengthens our enemies.”
