Reviews
This book is a must-read for all those interested in capital flight and illicit financial flows, not just from Africa, but also from developing countries. Its contributors include some of the most authoritative researchers on capital flight from Africa. The book has succeeded immensely in moving the discourse on capital flight, from an ideological and normative platform, to one informed by rigorous analysis and longitudinal data. Steve Onyeiwu, Journal of African Development
