According to Vogl, greed and short-term profit maximization dominate banking culture today with dangerous consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Vogl develops examples from across the world to call for far-reaching reforms: from reforming banking and the sovereign bond markets, to enacting new anti-corruption laws, and, most importantly, substantially increasing law enforcement. He argues that the chairmen and CEOs of major banks that are caught laundering billions of dollars should be held accountable. According to Vogl, EU authorities should step up financial regulation. He underscores the need to expose and counteract the excessive influence of the City of London\u2019s leaders on preventing serious investigations and prosecutions of their entanglements with foreign kleptocratic clients.<\/p>\n<p>Vogl argues that, if President Biden is to be credible in his strategy to strengthen democracy and contain authoritarianism, then he must not only increase U.S. leadership in fighting corruption abroad, but he must also act urgently to contain the enablers at home. This book explains why and how \u00a0several reforms can obtain powerful bi-partisan political support.<\/p>\n<p>Vogl calls for the need for political leadership and multilateral action in the G20 and other international networks and formal international organizations.<\/p>\n<p>On November 15, 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/gfintegrity.org\/\">Global Financial Integrity<\/a> hosted a webinar was held on the book.\u00a0 Participating were: Frank Vogl; Tom Cardamone President and CEO, Global Financial Integrity, moderator; Raymond Baker Founder, Global Financial Integrity; Zo\u00eb Reiter Director of Civic Engagement, Project on Government Oversight; and Alexandra Gillies Advisor, Natural Resource Governance Institute.\u00a0 One of the themes of the webinar was the need to underscore and reform the erosion of transparency plaguing the United States government.<\/p>\n<p>Vogl in his book and during the webinar underscore the potential importance of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/summit-for-democracy\/\">Summit on Democracy<\/a>. \u00a0On December 9-10, 2021, President Biden will host the first of two Summits\u202ffor Democracy, which will bring together leaders from\u202fgovernment, civil society, and the private sector to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle the greatest threats faced by democracies today through collective action.<\/p>\n<p>They underscored the need for a transnational approach and discussed the interplay of corruption, financial regulation, and climate control.\u00a0 Global witness has issued several blog posts on the role of finance and climate control.\u00a0 See, e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalwitness.org\/en\/blog\/our-verdict-cop26-compromise-catastrophe\">https:\/\/www.globalwitness.org\/en\/blog\/our-verdict-cop26-compromise-catastrophe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For persons interested in the contemporary links in the United States and internationally between corruption and reform efforts, especially related to the financial aspects, this book provides some incisive perspectives and solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Enablers: How the West Supports Kleptocrats and Corruption &#8211;
