b"In this episode, Jason Pack and Alexandra Hall Hall disentangle the related concepts of corruption, illegality, embezzlement, and bribery. They discuss what happens when the laws of a given country allow legalized versions of \\u2018corruption in plain sight\\u2019 to flourish. They\\u2019ll look at two different case studies of this phenomenon: Britain and Libya. First, Alex talks to journalist and author Sam Bright about the unique type of \\u2018pay for access\\u2019 corruption that has infiltrated the British establishment. They\\u2019ll analyse how wealthy donors can buy meetings with senior officials within the Conservative Party, the implications of the UK\\u2019s failed Golden Visa Programme and how it has allowed oligarchs to embed themselves into the UK\\u2019s political and economic life, and how the British media\\u2019s cosy relationships with cabinet ministers leads to a lack of accountability and transparency.\\xa0\\n\\nLater in the episode, Jason talks to Husni Bey Husni, Libya\\u2019s most famous and successful entrepreneur and businessman. They\\u2019ll unpack how subsidies in Libya encourage corruption and pervert incentive structures and international markets. They dwell on the policy implications of these perversions and Husni argues that a libertarian approach is his personal solution to help Order the Disorder.\\xa0\\xa0\\nFinally, Jason and Alex discuss how to deter corruption in British politics, how the Libyans have perfected the Miss Manner\\u2019s Guide to Rigorously Correct Kleptocracy works, how the libertarian approach might (and might not) work, how regulations and cultural norms are needed, and how removing perverse incentive structures is essential as humans will always do whatever benefits them if they can get away with it.\\xa0\\nTwitter: @DisorderShow\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nWebsite: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/subscribe\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nProducer: George McDonagh\\xa0\\nExec Producer: Neil Fearn\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nShow Notes Links\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nGet Sam Bright\\u2019s books Fortress London: The definitive book about Levelling Up and why it matters here And Bullingdon Club Britain: The Ransacking of a Nation here\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\nGet Jason's book Libya and The Global Enduring Disorder here (And read about the Miss Manner\\u2019s Guide to Rigorously Correct Kleptocracy in Chapter 4)\\xa0\\n\\nRead more about Kleptocracy here\\n\\xa0\\nRead more about Husni here\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
