Description
Frank Vogl, co-founder of the leading global organization fighting corruption, Transparency International, joins Jess and Zerlina to talk about his new book "THE ENABLERS: How the West Supports Kleptocrats and Corruption--Endangering Our Democracy," out now!Some of the Praise for THE ENABLERS“Frank Vogl’s “The Enablers,” is a brilliant tour de force, taking its reader through the world of slime and sleaze that drips from the supposedly legitimate world where international commerce collides with the corrupt and the powerful. The Enablers gets right into the guts of how an army of facilitators have ensured that profiteering at the expense of people and planet is the norm. Despite the brave efforts of many notable officials, the story Frank narrates shows that the system in place is simply not good enough. To everyone who is concerned about the future of our world - read this, and once armed with the facts, get out there and demand a credible response from your government!” — Simon Taylor, Director, Co-founder, Global Witness. “This eye-opening book reveals a world that is unknown to most—the key facilitators of transnational crime and the looting of countries. The facilitators that Vogl brings to life cause irreparable harm through their complex financial and legal maneuvers often hard to detect until it is too late. The book presents a clarion call to focus more on these pernicious enablers.” — Professor Louise Shelley, George Mason University, Director, Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC). “Enablers! This is us in the richer countries, facilitating corruption, hurting the lives of billions of people across the globe. Frank Vogl sounds a clarion call for change. He brings a lifetime of experience to his compelling stories highlighting the role of private as well as public enablers corrupting the global financial system.” — Raymond W. Baker, Founding President, Global Financial Integrity.
