Season 2, Episode 3: Casey Michel: American Kleptocracy
Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Casey Michel, journalist and author of “American Kleptocracy: How the U.S. Created the World’s Greatest Money Laundering Scheme in History.” In his debut book, Michel offers a deep investigation into how the US built the largest illicit offshore finance system the world has ever known.
Together, they examine just how the US implosion into a center of global offshoring took place, what that means for the rest of the world, and its vast implications for those who seek to preserve open societies and the rule of law.
