But the prerogative state – Hitler’s political machinery – enjoyed … ‘jurisdiction over jurisdiction.” Trump helped to construct a new 'global alliance of kleptocrats'. Their whole goal is the privatization of power He concluded: ‘It would appear to me that the consequence of this ruling is that the claimant’s case must be dismissed.’ With his election as president, as Burgis puts it, Trump helped to construct a new “global alliance of kleptocrats”.

Tom Burgis’ 2020 non-fiction “Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World” is a well-written narrative of grand corruption and illicit finance that will appeal to most readers.
