Global oligarchy, shrouded in secrecy

If you wonder why democracy looks fragile in the USA and other high-income countries, “Offshore – Stealth wealth and the new colonialism” by Brooke Harrington is a book you should read. Published shortly before the re-election of Donald Trump in November 2024, it explains well what is driving the autocratic action of the new Trump-Musk regime in the USA.
