 In his forceful follow-up to Moneyland, Oliver Bullough unravels the dark secret of how Britain placed itself at the center of the global offshore economy and at the service of the worst people in the world.

The Suez Crisis of 1956 was the nadir of Britain's twentieth century, the moment when the once-superpower was bullied into retreat. "Great Britain has lost an empire and not yet found a role," said Dean Acherson, a former US secretary of state. Acheson's line has entered into the canon of great quotations: but it was wrong. Britain had already found a role. The leaders of the world just hadn't noticed it yet.

Butler to the World reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. Written polemically, but studded with witty references to the butlers of popular fiction, it demonstrates how so 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. This book lays bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, and calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally. 

  Most people regard tax havens as being relevant only to celebrities, crooks and spivs, and mistakenly believe that the main offshore problems are money laundering and terrorist financing. These are only small parts of the whole picture. The offshore system has been (discreetly) responsible for the greatest-ever shift of wealth from poor to rich. It also undermines our democracies by offering the wealthiest members of society escape routes from tax, financial regulation, and other normal democratic controls.Treasure Islands brilliantly articulates the problem in a completely new way, and exposes the deep corruption that impacts on our daily lives. This is the ugliest chapter in global economic affairs since slavery - and secretive offshore tax havens are at the heart of the trouble.

In this expert insider’s account of the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s, William Black lays bare the strategies that corrupt CEOs and CFOs—in collusion with those who have regulatory oversight of their industries—use to defraud companies for their personal gain. Recounting the investigations he conducted as Director of Litigation for the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, Black fully reveals how Charles Keating and hundreds of other S&L owners took advantage of a weak regulatory environment to perpetrate accounting fraud on a massive scale. In the new afterword, he also authoritatively links the S&L crash to the business failures of 2008 and beyond, showing how CEOs then and now are using the same tactics to defeat regulatory restraints and commit the same types of destructive fraud.

Black uses the latest advances in criminology and economics to develop a theory of why “control fraud”—looting a company for personal profit—tends to occur in waves that make financial markets deeply inefficient. He also explains how to prevent such waves. Throughout the book, Black drives home the larger point that control fraud is a major, ongoing threat in business that requires active, independent regulators to contain it. His book is a wake-up call for everyone who believes that market forces alone will keep companies and their owners honest.

 AL MARTIN: THE MAN WHO STILL KNOWS TOO MUCH BY URI DOWBENKOAl Martin is the man who knows too much.About US Government fraud at the highest levels.About Iran-Contra.And about the conspirators who continue their dirty work.He’s a self-described fourth level player, just below George and Jeb Bush, and he has first-hand knowledge of the dirty deals and scams that never stopped.And why is this story still important? Because these frauds are ongoing (they just roll them over) and they continue to cost taxpayers billions of dollars a year.In the past, Lt. Cmdr. Al Martin, US Navy (Ret) has testified before Congress for the Kerry Commission and the Alexander Committee, which investigated the illegal operations of the so-called Iran-Contra Affair.The book you are about to read is an astonishing true crime story that has been too hot for prime time. In fact, Al Martin’s story is an unprecedented expose of high-level government crimes, cover-ups and scandals. It includes eye witness accounts of US Government-sanctioned narcotics trafficking, illegal weapons deals, and an epidemic of securities fraud, real estate fraud, banking fraud and insurance fraud by high-level government perps. These criminal perpetrators are members of the cryptocracy, those who rule from the shadows of government, a secret bureaucracy which wields the powers and resources of the federal government, but which often oper-ates outside the chain of government command. Former Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams called it “a shadow government in the United States.” In Al Martin’s words, “it’s a Government Within a Government, comprising some thirty to forty thousand people the American Government turns to, when it wishes certain illegal covert operations to be extant pursuant to a political objective.”Because of what he’s seen first hand and experienced, Al Martin has been in hiding, a whistleblower targeted by these very same bureaucrat perps.Because of his failing health, Al Martin has decided to go public and tell the whole story of the Iran-Contra Conspiracy. His book is an unprecedented revelation of the secret world of the US Shadow Government. It’s a memoir, a first hand account of his own personal involvement with Iran-Contra scams.
