And then as a third book uh to the trilogy I would say read American kleptocracy which is a book by Casey Michelle which talks about much more specifically American focused how Grand corruption is already visible and already at play in the United States.

Anne Applebaum The Ezra Klein Show · Nov 2024 Why people recommend it
American Kleptocracy by Casey Michel is an investigative non-fiction book that exposes how the United States has paradoxically become a primary destination for laundering illicit fortunes generated by corrupt foreign leaders. Anne Applebaum joined the conversation on The Ezra Klein Show for the episode titled Trump Kicks Down the Guardrails, broadcast on November 19, 2024. As she concluded her set of reading suggestions forming a conceptual trilogy on international malfeasance, Applebaum pointed to this volume as the crucial final entry. She told the host and listeners that readers should pick up the book to understand a much more specifically American-focused angle of corruption. Applebaum emphasized that the author details how grand corruption is already clearly visible and actively at play within the borders of the United States, rather than being confined to distant developing nations. By drawing attention to domestic financial loopholes and legal frameworks that shelter questionable money, the book serves as a sobering wake-up call. Applebaum's endorsement highlights the urgent need to recognize how global illicit finance intersects with domestic American institutions and political vulnerabilities.
