Kleptopia
Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World by Tom Burgis is a non-fiction book about the combined effects of globalization and worldwide forces of corruption, published in 2020. The book uses narrative nonfiction and true crime tropes to detail and explore global kleptocractic effects and consequences – with Kazakhstan in particular "featur[ing] heavily in Burgis's investigation" – as well as how practices of corruption (such as money laundering) entrench themselves via shell corporations, the dark money banking system, and political lobbying.
