L’Affaire des affaires is a book unlike anything ever seen in comic book form. Journalist and novelist Denis Robert narrates his own life story, culminating in how he wound up being prosecuted in the Clearstream affair. In a clear and lucid style, the book explains the mechanisms – tax havens, offshore banks, the lack of cooperation between states – that allow corruption and organized crime to flourish in the new economy. The result is as gripping as any best-selling financial thriller, all the while remaining a very human, accessible autobiography. This work gives a truly fascinating view point of the flip side of economic liberalism.
