Steffens was the towering figure in journalism of the early 20th century. This is a series of articles he wrote uncovering the graft and corruption at the highest levels of municipal governments across the country: the "Boodlers" stealing money from public piggy banks through a wide variety of schemes and plans made in smoke-filled rooms; trading power for profit; selling rights and property that belonged to the public and putting the money in their own pockets. This is the birth of investigative journalism. It made a difference.

In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe.

La historia secreta del "Milicogate". El millonario desfalco a los gastos reservados del cobre, por el periodista que destapó el caso.

Prostitution, Raub, Drogen, Terror, Menschenhandel, Umweltverbrechen – nahezu allen kriminellen Taten ist eines gemeinsam: Sie lohnen sich nur, wenn Kriminelle die Herkunft ihrer schmutzigen Erträge verschleiern können – durch Geldwäsche. Geld ist eine Waffe: Kriminelle bestechen Politiker, beeinflussen Parlamentswahlen durch Fake News und destabilisieren mit Cyberattacken die Demokratie. Klar ist: Nimmt man Kriminellen das dreckige Geld, trifft man sie am härtesten. Doch Deutschland tut in dieser Hinsicht praktisch nichts.

Gladys Berejiklian was Australia's rockstar premier. The first woman elected to lead NSW, she steered the state through devastating bushfires, drought and a once-in-a-generation pandemic with a steady hand. To many, she was 'The Woman Who Saved Australia' for the way in which she navigated the...

Desde la Colonia y las tropelías de Hernán Cortés, hasta nuestros muyaciagos días de señores de las ligas, casas blancas, estafas maestras y presidentes impresentables, Juan Antonio Cepeda—especialista en corrupción y Estado de derecho—reconstruye elrompecabezas histórico, social, político y cultural de la corrupción en México para mostrar cómo hemos sido proclives a perpetuarla. Pero que hayamos privilegiado elgatopardismo por encima de una transformación genuina, nos dice, no significa que estemos condenados a padecerlo por siempre.

Der Krieg in der Ukraine stellt das politische und wirtschaftliche Handeln Deutschlands auf den Prüfstand. Jahrzehntelang wurde über den zweitgrößten Staat Europas hinweggeschaut und Russland hofiert. Mit fatalen Folgen. Deutschland hat versagt, konstatiert die Osteuropa-Expertin Sabine Adler. Ihre Analyse nimmt nicht nur die Ukraine und den aktuellen Krieg in den Blick, sondern vor allem Deutschlands Rolle - wirtschaftlich, politisch, medial - in Bezug auf das von Russland überfallene Land.

In Unhealthy: Corruption and Malpractice in the American Health System, Dr. Richard Kradin, a professor at Harvard Medical School and expert in pulmonary infectious diseases, explores the history of the corporate and ideological transformation of America’s medical profession and how it has diminished the quality of health care.

Sölve Conradsson, kommunfullmäktiges ordförande i Motala, åt, drack och reste för över hundra tusen kronor på kommunens bekostnad under 1995. Sölve och hans politikervänner tog med sina fruar på nöjesresor till Nice och Berlin, gick på fina restauranger och shoppade – och satte hela kalaset på skattebetalarnas nota. Det var en kommunledning genomsyrat av korruption och det var bara en tidsfråga innan skandalen skulle uppdagas.

In the more than five tumultuous, paradigm-shifting years of Donald Trump’s presidency and beyond, his near-constant lying has become a fixture of political life. It is inextricably linked with how his party behaves, how the Democrats respond to it, and how he remains relevant, even after a decisive loss in 2020. Jonathan Lemire brings his connections, profile, and reportorial instincts to bear in his first book that explores how this phenomenon shapes our politics. The Big Lie is the first audiobook to examine this unprecedented and tenuous moment in our nation’s politics.

Exploring the extraordinary social and political dominance enjoyed by the British aristocracy over the centuries, Entitled seeks to explain how a tiny number of noble families rose to such a position in the first place. It reveals the often nefarious means they have employed to maintain their wealth, power, and prestige and examines the greed, ambition, jealousy, and rivalry which drove aristocratic families to guard their interests with such determination.

The story of Watergate is usually told through the prism of straight white male journalists and politicians who were at the center of the scandal—but Watergate happened to all of us—wives, mothers, children, Black, White, queer, immigrants. Those voices and perceptions are rarely heard today. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Watergate was envisioned as a book that looks at the wider ripples of the Watergate explosion and how it changed the way Americans saw themselves, their country, and the world around them.

Sabato 21 luglio 2001, ultimo giorno del G8 di Genova, poco prima della mezzanotte, più di 300 operatori delle forze dell’ordine fanno irruzione nel complesso scolastico Diaz. In testa c’è il vii nucleo della ex Celere di Roma, seguono uomini delle squadre mobili e delle Digos mentre i carabinieri circondano l’edificio. In quella che il comandante Fournier definisce “una macelleria messicana” vengono arrestate e picchiate 93 persone sebbene non abbiano opposto alcuna resistenza.

Esta es la historia del exsecretario de Seguridad Pública que rendía cuentas a los narcos mientras les mentía a todos los mexicanos. Un personaje que supo esconder una meteórica y corrupta carrera: de soplón de la policía a espía de Carlos Salinas de Gortari, de funcionario estrella de Fox a titiritero de la guerra de Calderón.

Su asesinato, y el de su familia en mayo de 2020, a manos de un comando armado en Temixco, Morelos, quedó sepultado bajo el móvil de un supuesto crimen pasional, orquestado por su esposa —hoy detenida— y uno de sus escoltas.

Much of the attention paid to Trump's rise to power has focused on his corrosive personality and divisive style of governing. But he alone is not the problem. The vulnerability is much broader and deeper. The ascendance of Trump is the culmination of nearly 250 years of political reforms that gradually ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologically motivated party activists, interest groups, and donors. Author Lawrence Jacobs provides a highly engaging history of political reforms since the late-eighteenth century that over time dangerously weakened democracy.
