Acheson's line has entered into the canon of great quotations: but it was wrong. Britain had already found a role. The leaders of the world just hadn't noticed it yet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eButler to the World\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. Written polemically, but studded with witty references to the butlers of popular fiction, it demonstrates how so many elements of modern Britain have been put at the service of the world's oligarchs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Biden administration is putting corruption at the heart of its foreign policy, and that means it needs to confront Britain's role as the foremost enabler of financial crime and ill behavior. This book lays bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, and calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOLIVER BULLOUGH\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the financial exposé \u003ci\u003eMoneyland\u003c\/i\u003e, which topped the \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller list (UK), and two celebrated books about the former Soviet Union: \u003ci\u003eThe Last Man in Russia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLet Our Fame Be Great\u003c\/i\u003e.
