It wasn’t by chance that the 1960s became “The Swinging ‘60s.”Nor was it by chance that what happened on Madison Avenue in the years leading up to “The Mad Men” Decade --- when Vance Packard wrote “The Hidden Persuaders” --- and what has happened as a result of those years, has changed the world.This is a story about casting spells. About filling our heads with some catchy tune or a neat slogan that will throb gently in the hidden layers of our brain. About touching buttons; parceling intellect and emotion together; finding ways of saying one thing on the surface and something else beneath it; targeting our hopes; remolding our ambitions; allaying our fears; helping us mascara the face we put on to meet other faces. About selling us back ourselves; priming us for that singular moment when we spot their product somewhere and find ourselves reaching for it, almost uncontrollably, dropping it in our shopping basket, paying for it and bringing it home; then making that product an integral part of our lives, all of this without us ever wondering, why?This is the unmasking of “The Hidden Persuaders” and how the real “Mad Men” get us to spend.

An insight into the powerful world of money laundering. Robinson discloses who the players are, how they make billions disappear, where the money goes and why it is not necessarily in the interests of bank lawyers, accountants, or most of the world's governments, to stop it.

In 1994, when Jeffrey Robinson, author of The Laundrymen, first brought to the world's attention the problems of dirty money --- revealing how otherwise legitimate lawyers, bankers, accountants and even governments were helping drug traffickers hide the proceeds of their crimes --- he labelled money laundering the world's third largest business, estimating that at any given time there was around USD300 Billion circling the globe, looking to get clean. Now, in the sequel to Laundrymen, Robinson calculates that the dirty money business has doubled in under ten years and is ever more sophisticated (law enforcement and concerned governments flounder in its wake) - and he lays the blame on the offshore world. In an eye-opening tour de force of investigative journalism, Robinson reveals the state of the art of business-as-crime worldwide. As vast profits are turned into seemingly legitimate money, lawyers, bankers, accountants, brokers and governments have sold out to the mob and terrorists learn the lessons too and use Western financial networks to finance attacks on those same systems.

Tato knížka je legendární příběh o romantické lásce, slavné rodině a Monackém knížectví. Autor bestsellerů Jeffrey Robinson čerpal z neomezeného přístupu do palácových archivů a spolupráce s knížetem Rainierem a jeho dětmi Albertem, Carolinou a Stephanií. Výsledkem je publicistická próza, která zachycuje autentické osobnosti a příběhy panovnické rodiny, aniž by je přikrašlovala. Robinson nás seznamuje s historií Monaka od 12. století a ukazuje, jak se země proměnila z "slunného místa pro temné lidi" na prosperující stát. Na stránkách knihy najdeme Rainierovo přiznání o lásce k americké filmové hvězdě Grace Kellyové, Albertovy obavy a naděje ohledně jeho nástupu na trůn, a Carolina vzpomíná na své dětství a těžkosti spojené s životem princezny. Stephanie sdílí své zkušenosti po tragické autohavárii, kterou přežila. Kniha také ukazuje morální sílu ženy, která opustila hereckou kariéru, aby se stala matkou a aktivním členem vládnoucí rodiny. Názory Rainiera III. na život, náboženství a politiku doplňují obraz muže, který čtyřicet let vede knížectví jako nejdéle vládnoucí panovník světa.
