Samenvatting

Gedurende zijn hele loopbaan heeft Raymond Baker (een bikkelharde gestuurde zakenman) zich ingezet voor kapitalisme. Hij heeft alles gezien en nu biedt hij een nauwgezette analyse en stevige voorbeelden die de serieuze problemen waarmee het vrije marktsysteem te maken heeft illustreren. Dit boek verschaft een fascinerende blik van binnenuit op de manieren waarop criminelen, terroristen en zakenmensen geld witwassen over de gehele wereld en daarmee indirect miljarden mensen laten verpauperen en de kapitalistische idealen van fair play corrumperen.
