Butler To The World, by Oliver Bullough [brief]


How Britain is defined by service-culturing oligarchs from around the world.

Yeah, this was really good and really well done – he not only has a strong argument but also a good metaphor to frame it with (the butler) that makes the whole thing much more vivid and memorable. Exemplary pop-non-fiction

Interesting that Bullough thinks Britain is uniquely bad, and that the US is actually much better about prosecuting bad behaviour – would love to hear other people's takes on this, specifically.
