Crooks and Cheats Inc. In the late '70s and '80s a new logo appeared beside the traditional landmarks on British high streets - that of a remarkable Third World Bank, the BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International). BCCI soon became a global corporate empire with former US Presidents, ex-British Prime Ministers and a range of dictators on its payroll, all helping with promoting the company. Tariq Ali was the first public voice to warn that the Bank was not all it seemed to be. This is a revealing account of the rise and fall of the BCCI, questioning how financial regulators failed to see an even greater financial cataclysm - the fall of Enron. With illustrations. Hardback, 264 pages. Size: 215 x 145 mm. Weight: 596g.
