In this event chaired by Ricardo Soares de Oliveira, Oliver Bullough will be discussing his best selling and critically acclaimed book, 'Butler to the World'.

In it, Bullough reveals how the UK has become a hospitable location for oligarchs and kleptocrats from all over the world - a place where they can hide their monies, build respectable reputations on the back of philanthropy and party donations, and influence those in power. From professional facilitators to politicians, Bullough’s book asks searing questions about today's political and economic life in the United Kingdom.
