Summary of Oliver Bullough's Moneyland

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are many faces of London, depending on whom it is speaking to. For tourists, there is the pageantry and ceremony of the Changing of the Guards, which is for the tourists. For locals, there are the suburbs with their semi-detached houses, hedges, no-through-roads, and parks. #2 The second place to go with this story is to look back at 2 Woodberry Grove and ask why Pompolo, a company with access to significant amounts of cash, would base itself in an unglamorous part of London. #3 Paul Manafort, who was Trump’s campaign manager for a short period of time, revealed corruption surrounding the election of Donald Trump. But his link to Trump inadvertently gives us a window into something much bigger, a shadowy system that is quietly but effectively impoverishing millions. #4 I visited many of the old elite’s hidden haunts after the revolution. One trip took me to the heart of a forest outside Kiev, where I found the key to paradise.
