American Kleptocracy

American Kleptocracy examines how the United States transformed into a global center for illicit finance.

The book details how states like Delaware and Nevada perfected the art of anonymous shell companies, and how post-9/11 reforms led to a surge in illicit finance.

It also explores how African despots, post-Soviet oligarchs, and other corrupt entities have dominated American industries and infiltrated universities, think tanks, and cultural centers.

Michel argues that this system poses a significant threat to democracy and highlights efforts to restore America's anti-corruption leadership.
