Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World Free Audiobook Download by Tom Burgis

Tom Burgis tells the story of how, over the past decade, a group of crooks and con artists has come to dominate global finance. This book was published in 2009 and is no longer relevant considering the rapid changes that have been made to the financial system since then - but this is still a fascinating read.

"The whole system of global finance is rotten," says [Tom Burgis] in his incisive, provocative new book Kleptopia. "It allows and rewards the countries, businesses and individuals that steal an extraordinary amount of money."

Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World is a smart and detailed look at how the world's corruption works. It is a riveting thriller that recounts how everything that we've been taught about money, power and politics has been turned on its head by dark forces with no scruples. Burgis' engrossing narration turns this book into an audio novel that makes it easy to listen to on your commute or in the car, while a graphic novel style art book ties everything together with astute commentary by Tom himself.

The book is the definitive guide to understanding the globalized financial system and its role in today's economy, examining the profound changes that have taken place over recent decades and how they impact on people's lives.

"Tom Burgis's book is a compelling, immersive narrative that takes the reader on a journey across continents and through time. It truly is a global bestseller in the making." - "The Washington Post"
