Season 2, Episode 3: Casey Michel: American Kleptocracy

Send us a text


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.


The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the
