MONEY, POWER, CRIME – Protecting Democracy from Financial Crime and Big Money

Whether it is the financial crisis, the Wirecard scandal, or the Cum-Ex deals of Warburg Bank, politicians have paved the way for criminals in suits. How can this be? Few understand the reasons and background better than Fabio De Masi, known as the "financial detective". He was the first politician to warn about Wirecard when the government was still talking about a German stock market and internet miracle. He also tangled Chancellor Olaf Scholz in contradictions over his claimed memory lapses in the Warburg affair.

In this book, Fabio De Masi uncovers the systemic causes of financial crises, the forces behind recent financial scandals, and the battle for control of the financial and data highways on the internet. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at parliament and his own motivations. Finally, he explains what needs to be done now to protect our democracy.
