\"It was once said that Britain had lost an empire and not yet found a role. By the late 1950s, it had already found its purpose. It even had the costume. The rest of the world just hadn't noticed yet. Butler to the World reveals how the UK smoothly took up its position at the elbow of the worst people on Earth: the oligarchs, kleptocrats and gangsters. Britain pride ourselves on values of fair play and the rule of law, but few countries do more to frustrate global anti-corruption efforts. Join investigative journalist Oliver Bullough for a visit below stairs in the modern British economy. Marvel at the chicanery of our financial services. Discover why the UK is very much at home to purveyors of the most ruinous addictions. And find out what our celebrated legal code really stands for. Britain has become a nation of Jeeveses, snobbish enablers for rich halfwits of considerably less charm than Bertie Wooster. It doesn't have to be that way\"--Publisher's description.
