Description

Is it a crime to steal back something that was once yours?    That's the question we'll tackle this week, as we look at a string of sophisticated art heists aimed at reclaiming some stolen heritage objects. And we'll explore how Facebook is facilitating the illicit trafficking of stolen cultural objects, all out in the open.   You can support our work here: Patreon.com/powercorrupts   And you can buy Brian’s new book, Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us, here (or wherever you buy books):  https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Corruptible/Brian-Klaas/9781982154097   Follow us on social media:   Twitter - twitter.com/powrcorrupts Instagram - instagram.com/powercorruptspodcast
