The world has been bombarded in recent years with images of the
luxurious lives and wealth of corrupt oligarchs and kleptocrats,
amassed at the expense of ordinary people. Such images exploit our
feelings of injustice, are taken as indicative of moral decay and
inspire a desire to purge our economies of dirty money, objects and
people. But why do anti-corruption efforts routinely fail? What
kind of world are they creating? Looking at luxury art,
antiquities, superyachts and populist politics, this book explores
the connection between luxury and corruption, and offers an
alternative to the received wisdom of how we tackle corruption.
