What is “kleptocracy,” and what role does the United States play in it? Is the US a kleptocracy? What role do anonymous shell companies play? In this episode that we recorded late last summer, Ted Moorman answers these questions and more.
Moorman has also written a brief primer on kleptocracy and America’s role in it, which can be found at https://providencemag.com/2016/12/quick-primer-us-role-foreign-kleptocracy-corruption/.
Those who would like to learn more about this topic, the Hudson Institute’s Kleptocracy Initiative has several good papers and events.
