Aprašymas
The issue of corruption has been upgraded to a national security issue, and designated as a mortal threat to the entire liberal-capitalist order. The consensual solution has been to weaponise luxury, and through securitised compliance tools and anti-policies, purge capitalism and the otherwise 'pure' financial system of dirty money, objects and people. This book challenges this received wisdom, critiquing the strategies of compliance, anti-corruption, and its ethics as an ideological diversion that routinely fails, is actively destructive to politics and culture and draws our attention away from where the real trouble lies: capitalism itself.
