Just finished Cuckooland by @tomburgis and can't recommend it highly enough. He brings together several strands to deliver a really powerful exploration of how money and power are distorting not just free speech but the nature of reality. This passage in particular leaped out...

Want to find out more about Nazarbayev's kleptocratic regime and how dirty money from the FSU is corrupting the West? Read this brilliant book (and its even better footnotes). Kudos to @tomburgis
This, from @joshuachuminski’s review of my new book Cuckooland in the @diplocourier, is why we get endless coverage of frivolous crap and precious little of the most vital stories of our time. “The social media era incentivizes journalistic hot takes and insta–commentary over…

@tomburgis @TonyDrapper Very much looking forward to reading it. I hope it has the same epic footnotes. Congrats again and keep up all the good work.

“The truth is the English civil law is a luxury good that is far beyond the means of most citizens of this country.” A perceptive @spectator review by @NickCohen4 of my new book Cuckooland, “a rip-roaring account of the overweening power of money”. (1/3) spectator.co.uk/article/englis…
@tomburgis @spectator @NickCohen4 My lawyer daughter recommended Kleptocracy to me, so I read it and it was excellent. I saw your tweet and have recommended Cuckooland to her. Of course will get it myself. Kleptocracy led me to Oliver Bullough's books and further education about the crimes of our times.
