Very good book about the origin of Global Witness.
It is really humbling how three people started all this on their own. We capable of horrible things but as well, amazing things. So maybe your effort is just a drop of water but it can add up.
I had no idea about the deforestation mafia of Red Kehmr in Cambodia and how that financed the war. And worst, how both sides were profiting from it. As always, the population is the one that pays the consequences.
That follows the diamonds from Angola, the petrol from Guinea, the wars of Siorra Leone and Liberia, etc.
I think of several countries as corrupted, but as the book shows, it is the first work with the financial engineering and PR/Law firms that allow all the mone to be moved away from those countries
If we dont allow those people to buy property, ferraris, etc it would be less convenient…. and make all the companies accountable.
At the end of the day, while fiscal paradise exists, this will continue, but at least there are people like GW that will pull the carpet and show the ugliness…
