An unprecedented new international moral and legal rule forbids one state from hosting
money stolen by the leaders of another state. The aim is to counter grand corruption
or kleptocracy ('rule by thieves'), when leaders of poorer countries - such as Marcos
in the Philippines, Mobutu in the Congo, and more recently those overthrown in revolutions
in the Arab world and Ukraine - loot billions of dollars at the expense of their own
citizens. This money tends to end up hosted in rich countries. These host states now
have a duty to block, trace, freeze, and seize these illicit funds and hand them back
to the countries from which they were stolen. In 'The Despot's Guide to Wealth Management',
J.C. Sharman asks how this anti-kleptocracy regime came about, how well it is working,
and how it could work better
