我常看《The Economist》，他们每年都会发布年度瞩目图书榜单。我就是这样发现《Financial Times》的 Tom Burgis 写的《Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World》的。那本书描述了最有钱的那批人是怎么发家的（大多是通过不义之财），以及他们如何藏钱（很多…
I read The Economist which every year publishes their list of notable books. That is how I found Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World by Tom Burgis of The Financial Times. That book describes how the richest people get there (mostly through ill gotten means) and what they do to hide money (lots…
…哈萨克斯坦。更让人不寒而栗的是统治精英如何操纵国际媒体。如果你现在还不讨厌 Tony Blair，这本书绝对会帮你狠狠迈过那道门槛。https://www.amazon.com/Kleptopia-Dirty-Money-Conquering-Worl...
…Khazakhstan. Even more chilling, how the ruling elite manipulate the international press. If you don’t hate Tony Blair already, this will help you cross that line in a big way. https://www.amazon.com/Kleptopia-Dirty-Money-Conquering-Worl...

I also came to praise Treasure Islands. Also highly relevant with the Russian invasion in Ukraine ongoing is Kleptopia. The author also battled a defamation lawsuit against him in the UK which was dismissed in March. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptopia
有本非常棒的书叫《Kleptopia》，作者是 T. Burgis。讲的是富可敌国的寡头们如何利用西方的法律和银行系统。他指出美国的金融体系表面上一尘不染。寡头们最后锒铛入狱，是因为他们以为自己…
There’s a really great book called Kleptopia by T. Burgis. It’s about how wealthy oligarchs use the Western legal and banking systems. He points out that the US financial system is squeaky clean. Oligarchs wind up in prison because they think they…
Read Kleptopia. It’s written by a British author and mostly about the British financial/legal system. I’m not sure how much of it is current in light of the sanctions. The big example it uses (90% of the book) is Khazakhstan.…

我也是来夸《Treasure Islands》的。另外，在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰仍在持续的背景下，《Kleptopia》也非常切题。作者还在英国打了一场针对他的诽谤官司，三月被驳回了。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptopia

读《Kleptopia》。作者是英国人，书主要讲的是英国的金融/法律体系。考虑到制裁，我不确定书里有多少内容还算得上现状。它用的大例子（占了全书 90%）是哈萨克斯坦。……
