Oliver Bullough's 'Moneyland' investigates the shadowy world of offshore finance, revealing how the global wealthy hide their assets in a parallel economy beyond the reach of any nation's laws. Bullough, a journalist who has covered Eastern European corruption for years, uses the metaphor of 'Moneyland' to describe the borderless realm where money travels freely while ordinary people remain bound by national jurisdictions. The book follows dirty money from its origins in kleptocratic regimes through the financial intermediaries who launder it to the luxury properties, private schools, and legal systems where it finds refuge. Bullough interviews wealth managers, lawyers, and investigators, building a picture of an industry that serves criminals while maintaining plausible deniability. He shows how London, New York, and other financial centers profit from illicit flows while undermining democracy in the countries whose wealth is stolen and corrupting the institutions that provide it safe harbor. The book is both investigation and call to action, arguing that offshore finance is not an inevitable feature of globalization but a policy choice that could be reversed. Readers will come away understanding how inequality is maintained through financial secrecy and what reforms might address it.
